Shake the cloud from off your brow, Belinda's aria from Dido and Aeneas
Shake the cloud from off your brow,
Fathe your wishes doth allow,
Empire growing, pleasures flowing,
Fortune smiles and so should you.

Non aggrottate le ciglia,
il fato vi favorirà ;
facendo sorgere imperi,
profondendo piaceri,
la Fortuna ride , e fatelo anche voi.

These desert hills and dales.
