Saul, HWV 53 : Act II, Scene II, Recitative. "My Father Comes" (Jonathan)
My father comes: retire, my friend, while I
With peaceful accents try to calm his rage
Hast thou obey'd my orders, and destoy'd
My mortal enemy, the son of Jesse?
Alas, my father! He your enemy?
Say, rather, he has done important service
To you, and to the nation; hazarded
His life for both, and slain our giant foe
Whose presence made the boldest of us tremble
With peaceful accents try to calm his rage
Hast thou obey'd my orders, and destoy'd
My mortal enemy, the son of Jesse?
Alas, my father! He your enemy?
Say, rather, he has done important service
To you, and to the nation; hazarded
His life for both, and slain our giant foe
Whose presence made the boldest of us tremble
