(Neu — Manuscript.) Recitativ und Arie aus „Herkules 44 von G. F. Händel, gesungen von Hiss Lincoln. Redtativ. See Hercules, how smiles yon myrthle plain, where numerous sparkling rills meandring glide; ’tis there I’ fix my jocund reign, ’tis there my laughing train reside. There smokes the feast, enhanc’d by music’s sound; fitest to tune the metting soul to love; Rich odours breathing choicest sweets aroused; the fragrant bower, cool fountain, shady grove. Thither thy happy footsteps will I lead: fresh flower’s shall bind thy brow; fresh flower’s shall strew thy bed. Arie. There the brisk sparkling nectar drain, Cool’d with the purest summer snowss There tir’d with sporting on the plain, Beneath the woodbine shade repose. There as serene thou lies’t along, Soft warbling voices metting lays Shall sweetly pone the tender song To love, on beauty’s rapt’rous praise.
