[00:00.20]Lyrics by：Thomas Morell
[00:00.30]Composed by：George Frideric Händel
[00:01.36]Why is my brother thus afflicted
[00:03.46]Say
[00:04.38]Why didst thou spurn thy daughter's gratulations
[00:08.81]And fling her from thee with unkind disdain
[00:14.50]O Zebul Hamor and my dearest wife
[00:21.47]Behold a wretched man
[00:25.64]Thrown from the summit of presumptuous joy
[00:30.46]Down to the lowest depth of misery
[00:40.30]Know then I vow'd the first I saw should fall
[00:49.48]A victim to the living God
[00:55.41]My daughter
[00:58.37]Alas it was my daughter and she dies
