Saul, HWV 53 : Act I, Scene II, Recitative. "Behold, O King" (Abner, Saul, David)

Behold, O king, the brave, victorious youth
And in his hand the haughty giant's head

Young man, whose son art thou?

The son of Jesse
Thy faithful servant, and a Bethlemite.

Return no more to Jesse - stay with me
And as an earnest of my future favour
Thou shalt espouse my daughter
Small reward
Of such desert
Since to thy arm alone
We owe our safety, peace and liberty
