Contents
Overture -- Act I. Shake the cloud from off your brow ; Ah! Belinda ; Grief increases by concealing ; When monarchs unite ; Fear no danger to ensue ; See, your royal guest appears ; Cupid only throws the dart ; If not for mine, for Empire's sake ; Pursue thy conquest, love ; To the hills and the vales ; The triumphing dance -- Act II. scene I: (Prelude for the witches) Wayward sisters ; Harm's our delight ; The Queen of Carthage, whom we hate ; Ho ho ho ; Ruin'd ere the set of sun? ; Ho ho ho ; But ere we this perform ; In our deep vaulted cell -- Act II. scene II: Thanks to these lonesome vales ; Oft she visits this lone mountain ; Behold, upon my bending spear ; Haste, haste to town ; Stay, Prince -- Act III. Come away, fellow sailors ; The Sailors' dance ; See the flags and streamers curling ; Our next motion ; Destruction's our delight ; The witches' dance ; Your counsel all is urged in vain ; Great minds against themselves conspire ; Thy hand, Belinda ; When I am laid in earth ; With drooping wings ye cupids come.
