by Paolo Antonio Rolli (1687 - 1765)

Grecia tu offendi
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Grecia tu offendi,  
Troia difendi,
se Achille vuoi salvar.
Quel che di Giove
dal ciglio move
sai che non può mancar.

Colpo di fato,
quand'altri ha spene
che sia scampato,
allor lo viene
ad incontrar.

Composition:

    Set to music by Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759), "Grecia tu offendi", HWV 42 no. 2, first performed 1741, from opera Deidamia, no. 2
