Acis and Galatea, HWV 49a, Act II: Galatea, Dry Thy Tears (Chorus)
Ovid, George Frideric Handel, John Gay
Galatea, dry thy tears,
Acis now a god appears!
See how he rears him from his bed,
See the wreath that binds his head.
Hail! thou gentle murm'ring stream,
Shepherds' pleasure, muses' theme!
Through the plains still joy to rove,
Murm'ring still thy gentle love.
