CHORUS.

The pleafures of the plains!
Happy Nymphs and happy Swains:
Harmlefs, merry, free, and gay,
Dance and fport the hours away.
For us the Zephyr blows,
For us diftils the dew,

For us unfolds the rose

And flowers difplay their hue For us the Winters rain,

Handel.

For us the Summers shine; Spring fwells for us the grain, And Autumn bleeds the vine

Da Capo.

SONG.

Mr. KELLY.

Handel.

Total eclipfe! no fun, no moon!
All dark amidst the blaze of noon!
O glorious light! no cheering ray
To glad my eyes with welcome day!
Why thus depriv'd thy prime decree?
Sun, moon, and stars, are dark to me!

( 4 )

CHORUS.

O first-created beam, and thou great Word!
Let there be light! and light was over all;
One heav'nly blaze fhone round this-earthly ball!
To thy dark fervant life by light afford.

SONG. Signora STORACE.

Strange reverfe of human fate,

Mighty joy and mighty woe!
None are happy, none are great,
In this changeful state below.

Handel.

CHORUS.

O Father! whofe Almighty power

The heav'ns and earth and feas adore!
The heart of Judah, thy delight,

In one defensive band unite,
And grant a leader, bold and brave,
If not to conquer, born to fave.

Handel.
