Contents:
Presto Oh, the pleasure of the plains Ye verdant plains and woody mountains Hush, ye pretty warbling quire! Where shall I seek the charming fair? Stay, shepherd, stay! Shepherd, what art thou pursuing Lo! Here my love Love in her eyes sits playing Oh! Didst thou know the pains As when the dove laments her love Happy we! Happy we! Wretched lovers! I rage, I melt, I burn O ruddier than the cherry Whither, fairest, ar tthou running Cease to beauty to be suing Would you gain the tender creature His hideous love provoke my rage Love sounds th'alarm Consider, fond shepherd Cease, oh cease, thou gentle youth The flock shall leave the mountains Help, Galatea! Help, ye parent gods! Mourn, all ye muses! Must I my Acis still bemoan 'Tis done: thus I exert pow'r divine Heart, the seat of soft delight Galatea, dry thy tears
