Saul, HWV 53 : Act II, Scene II, Recitative. "Ah, Dearest Friend" (Jonathan)

Ah, dearest friend, undone by too much virtue
Think you, an evil spirit was the cause
Of all my father's rage?
It was, indeed
A spirit of envy, and of mortal hate
He has resolv'd your death
And sternly charg'd
His whole retinue, me especially
To execute his vengeance
