Rh I find of me you've made a jest, I'm by your contract quite distressed; With all you gave I'll freely part, I ask alone Amina's heart. The prudent and the sacred lore Of Mahomet I must adore; Love's joys he grants to the elect, Nay, he allows them to expect Aminas and eternal love, In his bright Paradise above. To heaven again, dear Gabriel, go, My zeal for you shall still o'erflow; To the empyrean then repair; Without my love I'd not go there."
