10. Recitative: "I know thy virtues"

10. Recitative: "I know thy virtues" - Paul Agnew/Gabrieli/Paul McCreesh

Composed by：George Frideric Händel

I know thy virtues and ask not thy faith

Enjoy it as you will my Didymus

Though not a Christian for I worship still

The Gods my fathers worship'd yet I own

Something within declares for acts of mercy

But Antioch's President must be obey'd

Such is the Roman discipline while we

Can only pity whom we dare not spare
