Theme of the 2nd movement later appeared as `Thou hast prevented him` in the Coronation Anthem, `The King shall rejoice` (HWV 260)

1. Langue, geme,
2. Cangia i gemiti in baci

1. Langue, geme,
sospira e si lagna
colomba che chiama
l`errante compagna.
Ma poi quando vede
che in braccio le riede
quel ben che tant`ama

2. Cangia i gemiti in baci,
e più non brama.
(G.D. de Totis)
