Composed by：George Frideric Händel

Vouchsafe dread Sir a gracious ear

恳请威严的大人垂听陈情

To my request Let not thy sentence doom

莫让您的判决宣告

To racks and flames all all whose scrup'lous minds

所有心存疑虑者遭受酷刑与烈焰

Will not permit them or to bend the knee

他们不愿向陌生的神明屈膝

To gods they know not or in wanton mood

亦不肯恣意狂欢

To celebrate the day with Roman rites

以罗马仪式庆祝这日子

Art thou a Roman and yet dar'st defend

你身为罗马人 竟敢为叛逆之徒辩护

A sect rebellious to the gods and Rome

他们背弃诸神与罗马的信仰

Many there are in Antioch who disdain

安提阿城中多有轻蔑者

An idol-offering yet are friends to Caesar

虽不拜偶像 却与凯撒为友

It cannot be they are not Caesar's friends

不认凯撒神明者 岂能算其友

Who own not Caesar's gods I'll hear no more

毋须多言 吾心已决
