"It was Handel's first comic opera, which broke away from the Opera Seria tradition. It was rejected by the Royal Academy of Music, because of its frivolous nature, with relatively few extended arias and more recitative." - Wikipedia. ARSACE Dimmi, pietoso Ciel, di queste belle mie quale abbandono? Se torno al primo amore, par che il secondo esclami: "Ah, traditore!" Se a questo poi mi volto, quello gridare ascolto con lamentevol suono: "Ricordati, infedel, che il primo io sono." Translation (by Marc D. and Eser): ARSACES Tell me, merciful Sky, which one of these beauties do I abandon? If I return to my first love, the second one will cry, "Ah, traitor!" If I turn to the latter, I hear the former screaming in a plaintive voice: "Remember, unfaithful one, that I was first."
