Wild nymphs, that run through mountains, stop the foot in this long beach, hear my lament that sometimes out of pity has stopped the wind: Beautiful Fillida doesn't love me....

Praise the Lord, all nations;
Praise Him, all people.
For He has bestowed
His mercy upon us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,
and for generations of generations.
Amen.

MOZART "ALLELUIA"...

Lord God, Heavenly King,
God Almighty Father.

BELLINI "CASTA DIVA"
Virtuous Goddess, covering with silver1

Temper, oh Goddess,

furthermore temper the audacious zeal,
spread on earth the same peace
that make you make reign in heaven

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,

Amen.
