"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 and Eurimene meet and the latter reveals, that "he" is in fact Rosmira in disguise, having abandoned everything to follow Arsace here. Arsace admits he still loves Rosmira, but she is appalled by his lack of fidelity and forces him to vow never to reveal her true identity. Arsace is left believing his first love has been rekindled." - Francesco Negrin Recitativo ARSACE Rosmira, oh Dio! Rosmira, sotto mentite spoglie di me sen viene in traccia, rinova le mie doglie, e vuol ch'io taccia. Aria Sento amor con novi dardi, ma il piu dolce è il primo strale; e fra cento accesi sguardi il primiero al fin prevale. Translation (by Marc D. and Eser): Recitativo ARSACES Rosmira, oh God! Rosmira is tracking me in misleading attire, renewing my sorrows, and asking me to remain silent. Aria I feel that love is piercing me again, but the sweetest dart is the first one; and among a hundred charming glances, the first one always prevails.
