Overture: Poco piu che andante - Larghetto - Gavotta
Still silence reigns around
Fair Aurora, pr'ythee stay
Alas, thou know'st that for my Love of thee
Adieu, thou lovely Youth
O cruel parting!
Amid a thousand racking Woes
Be firm my Heart
Behold, on Lethe's dismal Strand
Stay, Artaxerxes, stay
Fair Semira, lovely Maid
I fear some dread Disaster
When real Joys we miss
Ye Gods, Protectors of the Persian Empire
How hard is the Fate
Where do I fly?
Thy Father! away, I renounce the soft Claim
Ye cruel Gods, what Crime have I committed?
Acquit thee of this foul Offence
Appearance, I must own, is strong against me
O too lovely, too unkind
Dear and beloved Shade of my dead Father
Fly, soft Ideas, fly
Guards, speed ye to the Tower
In Infancy, our Hopes and Fears
So far my great Resolve succeeds
Disdainful you fly me
Why, my dear Friend, so pensive, so inactive?
To sigh and complain
How many Links to dire Misfortune's Chain!
If o'er the cruel Tyrant Love
Which fatal Evil shall I first oppose?
If the River's swelling Waves
Ye solid Pillars of the Persian Empire
By that belov'd Embrace
Ah me! at poor Arbaces parting
Monster, away!
See, lov'd Semira!
Thou, like the glorius Sun
Why is Death for ever late
Arbaces!
Water parted from the Sea
That Front, secure in conscious Innocence
Tho' oft a Cloud, with envious Shade
My Son, Arbaces - where art thou retir'd? -
O let the Danger of a Son
Ye adverse Gods!
O, much lov'd Son, if Death
Perhaps the King releas'd Arbaces
Let not Rage thy Bosom firing
What have I done! alas, I vainly thought
'Tis not true, that in our Grief
Nor here my searching Eyes can find Mandane
For thee I live, my Dearest
To you my People, much belov'd, I offer
The Soldier, tir'd of War's Alarms
Behold my King, Arbaces at thy Feet
Live to us, to Empire live
