THE BASKE
(Aeneas enters with his train)

BELINDA
See, your Royal Guest appears,
How Godlike is the form he bears!

AENEAS
When, Royal Fair, shall I be blest
With cares of love and state distrest?

DIDO
Fate forbids what you pursue.

AENEAS
Aeneas has no fate but you!
Let Dido smile and I'll defy
The feeble stroke of Destiny.

CHORUS
Cupid only throws the dart
That's dreadful to a warrior's heart,
And she that wounds can only cure the smart.

AENEAS
If not for mine, for Empire's sake,
Some pity on your lover take;
Ah! make not, in a hopeless fire
A hero fall, and Troy once more expire.

BELINDA
Pursue thy conquest, Love; her eyes
Confess the flame her tongue denies.

A DANCE. GITTARS CHACONY.

CHORUS
To the hills and the vales, to the rocks and the mountains
To the musical groves and the cool shady fountains.
Let the triumphs of love and of beauty be shown,
Go revel, ye Cupids, the day is your own.
