Danaus.
Be of good cheer, my daughters! All is well,
The popular voice hath perfected our prayers.
Chorus.
Hail father, bearer of good news: but say,
How was the matter stablished? and how far
Prevailed the people’s uplifted hands to save us?
Danaus.
Not doubtingly, but with a bold decision,
That made my old heart young again to see’t.
