 * Del. Successful is our Charm: The Temple shakes,

The Altar nods, th' aftonish'd Priest forsakes The hallow'd Shrine, starts from the Bridegroom's Side, Breaks off the Rites, and leaves the Knot unty'd.


 * Ye sweet Musicians of the sky,

Hither, hither, fly, fly; And with enchanting Notes all Magick else supply. Sound the Trumpet, touch the Lute, Strike the Lyre, and tune the Flute; In Harmony, Celestial Harmony, All Magick Charms are found; Sound the Trumpet, sound.

A Single Voice,

Jason thus to Orpheus said, Take thy Harp, and melt the Maid; Vows are vain, with Musick warm her, Play, my Friend, and charm the Charmer.
 * Hark! hark! 'tis Orpheus plays,
 * The Cedars dance, the Grove obeys.
 * Hark, hark again!

Medea melts like Proserpine. Rh
