Christopher Purves, The Sixteen, Harry Christophers & Orchestra of the Sixteen - Handel: Saul

Saul, HWV 53 : Act II, Scene IV, Recitative. "Yes, He Shall Wed My Daughter!" (Saul)

Yes, he shall wed my daughter!
But how long shall he enjoy her?
He shall lead my armies!
But have the Philistines no darts, no swords
To pierce the heart of David?
Yes, this once to them I leave him
They shall do me right!

A father's will has authorized my love
No longer, Michal, then attempt to hide
The secret of my soul.
I love thee, David
And long have loved.
Thy virtue was the cause
And that be my defence
