PELEUS AND THETIS.
141
PEL. To love and to languih,35
To ſign and complain,
How cruel ’s the anguiſh,
How tormenting the pain!
Suing,
Purſuing,40
Flying,
Denying,
O the curſe of diſdain,
How tormenting ’s the pain!
To love, &c.45
THET. Accurſed Jealouſy!
Thou jaundice in the lover’s eye,
Thro’ which all objects falſe we ſee,
Accurſed Jealouſy!
Thy rival, Peleus! rules the ſky,50
Yet I ſo prize thy love,
With Peleus I would chuſe to die
Rather than reign with Jove.
A clap of thunder. Jupiter appears deſcending upon his Eagle.
But ſee, the mighty Thund’rer ’s here;
Tremble, Peleus! tremble, fly.55
The Thunderer! the mighty Thunderer!
Tremble, Peleus! tremble, fly.
A full CHORUS of voice and inſtruments as Jupiter is deſcending.
