| libretto-text =<poem>When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
Sing on till I am fill'd with joy;
No trouble in thy breast!
For then my list'ning soul you move
Remember me – but ah! forget my fate.<ref name="Score"/></poem>
To pleasures that can never cloy:
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare,
That you are musick every where.
 
Pleasures invade both eye and ear;
So fierce the transports are, they wound;
And all my senses feasted are,
Tho' yet the treat is only sound:
Sure I must perish by your charms;
Unless you save me in your arms.</poem>
