Recitativo
NADABBE
Sire, del fier nemico
Già son l'm'dite schiere
Della real Gerusalemme a fronte;
Della percossa arena
Folta nebbia infinita al Ciel s'estolle,
E coll' immensa mole
II nativo splendor rapisce al Sole.

ISMAELE
Ahimé, Signor, corriamo,
Corriam, con piè veloce:
Ch'a noi spetta l'impresa
Della comun difesa

Aria
II nitrito de' fieri cavalli,
Che circondan Ie suddite valli,
Stanca gl' echi con nuovo fragor.
II rimbombo di trombe guerriere,
E Ie strida dell' avide schiere
vanno empiendo i confini d'orror.
