Part 1 - 'T'was at the royal feast' (Live in Göttingen / 1987) - Nigel Robson/English Baroque Soloists/John Eliot Gardiner
Lyrics by：John Dryden
Composed by：George Frideric Händel
'T was at the royal feast for Persia won
By Philip's warlike son
Aloft in awful state
The godlike hero sate
On his imperial throne
His valiant Peers were plac'd around
Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound
So should desert in arms be crown'd
The lovely Thais by his side
Sate like a blooming Eastern bride
In flow'r of youth and beauty's pride
