Chorus |
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. | Opera Stanford |
