Presti ormai legizia terra, from Giulio Cesare, George Frideric Handel.
Paul Esswood, countertenor.
Presti ormai l'egizia terra
le sue palme al vincitor!
Curio, Cesare venne, e vide e vinse;
giĆ sconfitto Pompeo invan ricorre
per rinforzar de' suoi guerrier lo stuolo
d'Egitto al re.
Now let the land of Egypt bestow
Its palms upon the victor!
Curio, Caesar came, saw, and conquered:
Pompey, already defeated, appeals in vain
To the King of Egypt
For reinforcements for his troops.
