| - | |
| To the strand quick mount the bark | B |
| - | |
| If no favouring zephyrs blow | C |
| - | |
| Ply the oar and nimbly row | C |
| And with zeal your prowess mark | B |
| - | |
| O'er the sea we thus career | D |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh let me linger one short moment here | E |
| 'Tis heaven's decree I may not hence away | F |
| The rugged cliffs the wood encircled bay | F |
| Hold me a prisoner and my flight delay | F |
| - | |
| Ye were so fair but now that dream is o'er | G |
| The charms of earth the charms of heaven are nought | C |
| What keeps me in this spot so terror fraught | C |
| - | |
| My only joy is fled for evermore | H |
| - | |
| Let me taste those days so sweet | C |
| - | |
| Heav'n descended once again | I |
| Heart dear heart ay warmly beat | C |
| - | |
| Spirit true recall those days | J |
| - | |
| Freeborn breath thy gentle lays | J |
| - | |
| Mingled are with joy and pain | K |
| - | |
| Round the beds so richly gleaming | L |
| - | |
| Rises up a palace fair | M |
| All with rosy fragrance teeming | L |
| - | |
| As in dream thou saw'st it ne'er | M |
| - | |
| And this spacious garden round | C |
| - | |
| Far extend the galleries | N |
| Roses blossom near the ground | C |
| - | |
| High in air too bloom the trees | N |
| - | |
| Wat'ry flakes and jets are falling | L |
| - | |
| Sweet and silv'ry strains arise | O |
| While the turtle dove is calling | L |
| - | |
| And the nightingale replies | O |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Gently come feel no alarm | P |
| - | |
| On a noble duty bent | C |
| Vanish'd now is ev'ry charm | P |
| - | |
| That by magic power was lent | C |
| Friendly words and greetings calm | Q |
| On his wounds will pour soft balm | Q |
| - | |
| Fill his mind with sweet content | C |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| Hark the turtle dove is calling | L |
| - | |
| And the nightingale replies | O |
| Wat'ry flakes and jets are falling | L |
| - | |
| Mingling with their melodies | N |
| - | |
| But all of them say | F |
| - | |
| Her only we mean | R |
| But all fly away | F |
| - | |
| As soon as she's seen | R |
| The beauteous young maiden | S |
| - | |
| With graces so rife | T |
| - | |
| Then lily and rose | U |
| - | |
| In wreaths are entwining | L |
| - | |
| In dancing combining | L |
| Each zephyr that blows | U |
| - | |
| Its brother is greeting | L |
| - | |
| All flying and meeting | L |
| With balsam full laden | S |
| - | |
| When waken'd to life | T |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| No no longer may we wait | C |
| Rouse him from his vision straight | C |
| Show the adamantine shield | C |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| Woe what form is here reveal'd | C |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| 'Twill disclose the cheat to thee | V |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| Am I doom'd myself to see | V |
| Thus degraded evermore | H |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Courage take and all is o'er | G |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| Be it so I'll take fresh heart | C |
| From the spot beloved depart | C |
| Leave Armida once again | I |
| Come then here no more remain | K |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Yes 'tis well no more remain | K |
| - | |
| SEMI CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Away then let's fly | W |
| - | |
| O'er the zephyr kiss'd ocean | S |
| The soul lighted eye | W |
| - | |
| Sees armies in motion | S |
| See proud banners wave | X |
| - | |
| O'er the dust sprinkled course | Y |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| From his forefathers brave | X |
| - | |
| Draws the hero new force | Y |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| With sorrow laden | S |
| - | |
| Within this valley's | N |
| - | |
| All silent alleys | N |
| The fairest maiden | S |
| - | |
| Again I see | V |
| - | |
| Twice can this be | V |
| What shall I hear it | C |
| And not have spirit | C |
| To ease her pains | Z |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Unworthy chains | Z |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| And now I've see her | G |
| - | |
| Alas how changed | C |
| With cold demeanour | G |
| - | |
| And looks estranged | C |
| With ghostly tread | C |
| All hope is fled | C |
| Yes fled for ever | G |
| The lightnings quiver | G |
| Each palace falls | A2 |
| The godlike halls | A2 |
| Each joyous hour | G |
| Of spirit power | G |
| With love's sweet day | F |
| All fade away | F |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Yes fade away | F |
| - | |
| SEMI CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Already are heard | C |
| - | |
| The prayers of the pious | A |
| - | |
| Why longer deny us | A |
| The favouring zephyr | G |
| - | |
| Forbids all delay | F |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Away then away | F |
| - | |
| RINALDO | C |
| - | |
| With heart sadly stirr'd | C |
| - | |
| Your command I receive | B2 |
| - | |
| Ye force me to leave | B2 |
| Unkind is the zephyr | G |
| - | |
| Oh wherefore not stay | F |
| - | |
| CHORUS | A |
| - | |
| Away then away | F |
