Chorus:

All is made ready

For the noble client,

Here stand we steady

To your words compliant,

Eagerly giving

What you intimate us,

Victims all living

Magic apparatus.

Hark at the portals

To the flute and cither!

Fairest of mortals

Comes the lady hither;

With costly spices

Be the warm air laden;

Sweet beyond price is

The illustrious maiden!

(Enter ATTENDANTS OF ANTONIA)

Let us hail the fair Princess

Who would fain discover

If her beauty is to bless

Some diviner lover!

Mortal men must ever more

Seek to win her vainly,

For the lady we adore

Is a goddess plainly,

Is a goddess,

Is a goddess plainly.

(Enter Lady Antonia)

Hail Antonia! Hail!

Be thou gracious,

Bride of love,

Sopranos	Tenors	Basses
In thy spacious Halls above Let our prayers prevail! Hail! Antonia...        .....hail!	In thy spacious Halls above Let our prayers prevail! Antonia hail!	Let our prayers prevail! Antonia hail!

Hail Antonia! Hail!

Hail! Antonia!

Antonia!

Antonia! Hail!

Hail! Hail! Hail!
