The fatal marriage. The danger is over ; I sigh'd, and own'd my love -- The female virtuosos. Love thou art best -- A fool's preferment. I sigh'd and I pin'd ; There's nothing so fatal as woman ; Fled is my love ; 'Tis death alone ; I'll mount to yon blue coelum ; I'll sail upon the dog-star ; A dialogue by Jockey and Jenny (Jenny, give you can love) ; If thou wilt give me back my love -- The Gordian knot unty'd. Overture ; Air ; Rondreau Minuett ; Air ; Jig ; Chaconne ; Air ; Minuett. Henry the Second. In vain 'gainst love I strove ; Hornpipe -- The Indian emperor. I look'd, and saw within the book of fate -- King Richard the Second. Retir'd from any mortal's sight -- The knight of Malta. Catch: At the close of the evening.
The libertine. Nymphs and shepherds ; We come ; Prepare, prepare now ghosts draw near ; To arms, heroic prince -- Love triumphant. How happy's the husband -- The maid's last prayer. Though you make no return to my passion ; No, resistance is but vain ; Tell me no more -- The marriage-hater match'd. As soon as the chaos was made into form -- The married beau. Overture ; Slow air ; Hornpipe ; Air ; Hornpipe ; Jig ; Trumpet air ; March ; Hornpipe on a ground ; See where repenting Celia lies. -- The massacre of Paris. Thy genius, lo! (2 settings) -- The mock-marriage. Oh! how you protest ; 'Twas within a furlong of Edinboro' ; Man is for the woman made.
