Ah, Wretched Prince / Wing'd With Our Fears /O Prodigy/See, See, Jove's Priests - Michael Chance/Samuel Ramey/Marilyn Horne/English Chamber Orchestra/John Nelson
Lyrics by：William Congreve
Composed by：George Frideric Händel
Ah wretched prince doom'd to disastrous love
Ah me of parents most forlorn
Prepare O Athamas to prove
The sharpest pangs that e'er were borne
Prepare with me our common loss to mourn
Can fate or Semele invent
Another yet another punishment
Wing'd with our fears and pious haste
From Juno's fane we fled
Scarce we the brazen gates had pass'd
When Semele around her head
With azure flames was grac'd
Whose lambent glories in her tresses play'd
While this we saw with dread surprise
Swifter than lightning downward tending
An eagle stoop'd of mighty size
On purple wings descending
Like gold his beak like stars shone forth his eyes
His silver plumy breast with snow contending
Sudden he snatch'd the trembling maid
And soaring from our sight convey'd
Diffusing ever as he less'ning flew
Celestial odour and ambrosial dew
Oh prodigy to me of dire portent
To me I hope of fortunate event
See see Jove's Priests and holy Augurs come
Speak speak of Semele and me declare the doom
