First movement reappeared 2 years later in the Utrecht Jubilate (HWV 279) as `Be ye sure that Lord he is God.`. Slow middle section formed the basis for the final chorus of `Alcina` (HWV 34) in 1735

1. A mirarvi io son intento
2. Ma l`amor per mio tormento
3. E vibrando in un baleno

1. A mirarvi io son intento,
occhi cari del mio ben,
perch`in voi ride il contento,
e in voi splende ogni seren.

2. Ma l`amor per mio tormento
si nasconde in quelle luce.

3. E vibrando in un baleno
del suo stral l`ardente face
mi consuma e mi disface.
