Synopsis

1st Song. Avaunt, ye Storms! nor check the aerial Car. In other Climes your forky Lightning bear; In other Regions vent your Clamours loud, Nor rend the fleecy mantle of this Cloud. Free from Strife, from Anger free. Calm, and Concord dwell with me: Hence for ever! dark brow'd Storm; Nor Heaven's azure Sky deform. Blue-eye'd Zephyrs, in thy place, Breathing soft thro' airy Space, Hail me, as I peaceful rise, The Halcyon Genius of those happy Skies.
