Chorus(The Babylonians)-Behold,by Persia's hero made
Recitative(Gobrias+Cyrus)-Well may they laugh,from meagre famine safe
Air(Gobrias)-Oppress'd with never-ceasing grief
Air(Cyrus)-Dry those unavailing tears
Recitative(Cyrus)-Be comforted:safe though the tyrant seem

Recitative(Cyrus)-You see,my friends,a path into the city lies open
Chorus(The Persians)-To arms, to arms,no more delay
