Artaxerxes

A prison.

[N. 20 - Arietta]

Arbaces! / Gracious heaven, what's this I see!

[N. 21 - Air]

That front, secure in conscious innocence

[N. 22 - Air]

My son, Arbaces ~ Where art thou retired?

Not yet arrived! ~ / Sir, Artabanes!

O unhappy father!

Artabanes! / Where is Arbaces?

[N. 23 - Air]

Ye adverse gods! y'ave found the only way

[N. 24 - Air]

Mandane's apartment.

Perhaps the king released Arbaces

[N. 25 - Air]

What have I done! alas, I vainly thought

[N. 26 - Air]

Nor here my searching eyes can find Mandane

Ye powers! Arbaces! and at liberty!

[N. 27 - Duetto]

A Temple, and throne, with a crown cnid sceptre.

To you, my people, much beloved, I offer

Fly quick, my liege; thousands of rebel troops

Hold, brother, the rebellious crew are fled

He murder Xerxes! Impious supposition!

[N. 28 - Air]

Behold, my king, Arbaces at thy feet

[N. 29 - Finale]
