A full Chorus of all the Voices and Instruments while Jupiter is descending.
CHORUS.
But see, the mighty Thunderer's here;
Tremble, Peleus, tremble, fly;
The Thunderer! the mighty Thunderer!
Tremble, Peleus, tremble, fly.
[JUPITER being descended:]
Jup. Presumptuous Slave, Rival to Jove,
How dar'st thou, Mortal, thus defie
A Goddess with audacious Love,
And irritate a God with Jealousie?
Presumptuous Mortal, hence———
Tremble at Omnipotence.
Pel. Arm'd with Love, and Thetis by,
I fear no Odds
Of Men or Gods,
But Jove himself defie.
Jove, lay thy Thunder down;
Arm'd with Love, and Thetis by,
There is more Terror in her Frown,
And fiercer Light'ning in her Eye:
I fear no Odds
Of Men or Gods,
But Jove himself defie.
Jup.
