歌曲名 Handel: Samson, HWV 57, Act I, Scene 3: Accompagnato. "The good we wish for" (Manoah)

歌手名 Nikolaus Harnoncourt/Anton Scharinger

作曲:George Frideric Handel

The good we wish for often proves our bane

I pray'd for children and I gain'd a son

And such a son as all men hail'd me happy

But who'd be now a father in my stead

The blessing drew a scorpion's tail behind

This plant select and sacred for awhile

The miracle of all was in one hour

Ensnar'd assaulted overcome led bound

His foes' derision captive poor and blind
