Arsinoe alone.
Arsin.
O Love, O Love
O Love I have gain'd
My Power maintain'd,
Concealing the Chains I endure!
O Love, O Love
O Love I have gain'd
A Victory sure.
Joy allures me,
Hope assures me,
Both secure me!
How sweet are the Pains
Of Love-sick Wounds
When once we obtain?
O Love, O Love,
O Love, I have gain'd
A Victory sure!
