- Act I. Shake the cloud from off your brow -- Ah! Belinda, I am prest with torment -- Grief increases by concealing -- Whem monarchs unite -- Whence could so much virtue spring? -- Fear no danger to ensue -- See your royal guest appears -- Cupid only throws the dart -- If not for mine, for Empire's sake -- Pursue thy conquest, love -- To the hills and the vales -- The triumphing dance -- Wayward sisters, you that fright -- Harm's our delight and mischief -- The Queen of Carthage, whom we hate -- Ho ho ho! -- Ruin'd ere the set of sun?-The Trojan prince, you know -- Ho ho ho! -- But, ere we this perform -- In our deep valuted cell -- Echo dance of furies
- Act II. Ritornelle -- Thanks, to these lonesome vales -- Oft she visits this lov'd mountain -- Behold, upon my bended spear -- Haste, haste to town -- Stay, prince! and hear great Jove's command
- Act III. Come away, fellow sailors -- The sailor's dance -- See the flags and streamers curling -- Our next motion must be to storm -- Destruction's our delight -- The witches' dance -- Your counsel, all is urg'd in vain -- But death, alas! I cann shun -- Great minds against themselves conspire -- Thy hand, Belinda -- When I am laid in earth -- With drooping wings, ye cupids come
