Saul, HWV 53 : Act II, Scene IV, Recitative. 'Yes, He Shall Wed My Daughter!' (Saul)
Yes, he shall wed my daughter! But how long shall he enjoy her? He shall lead my armies! But have the Philistines no darts, no swords To pierce the heart of David? Yes, this once to them I leave him They shall do me right!
A father's will has authorized my love No longer, Michal, then attempt to hide The secret of my soul. I love thee, David And long have loved. Thy virtue was the cause And that be my defence
