Symphony
Oh, the pleasure of the plains!
Ye verdant plains
Hush, ye pretty warbling quire!
Where shall I seek the charming fair?
Stay, shepherd, stay!
Shepherd, what art thou pursuing?
Lo, here my love
Love in her eyes sits playing
Oh, didst thou know the pains
As when the dove laments her love
Happy we!
Wretched lovers!
I rage - I melt - I burn!
O ruddier than the cherry
Whither, fairest, art thou running
Cease to beauty to be suing
Would you gain the tender creature
His hideous love provokes my rage
Love sounds th'alarm
Consider, fond shepherd
Cease, o cease, thou gentle youth
The flocks shall leave the mountains
Help, Galatea! Help, ye parent gods!
Mourn, all ye muses!
Must I my Acis still bemoan
'Tis done! thus I exert my pow'r divine
Heart, the seat of soft delight
Galatea, dry thy tears
