Sufficient Gales of ceaseless Sighs.
But Winds and Seas the Spoilers aid,
And bear far hence the wretched Maid.
Ah, God of Love! on gentle Wing,
Back to this Shore the Captive bring.<ref name="Libretto"/></poem>

==Context==
The aria is set at the beginning of Act I, closing Scene I. The location is a pleasant garden in Athens, where ''Tirinto'' (Tirinthus) shares his grief upon the loss of Rosemene with ''Argenius''. Rosmene, a virgin of goddess Ceres, has fallen into the hands of barbaric pirates.
