Theodora. Ah! Whither should we fly ; As with rosy steps the morn (9:08) ; O bright example of all goodness! ; Bane of virtue, nurse of passions (6:42) ; The clouds begin to veil the hemisphere ; Defend her Heav'n! (6:26) ; Lord, to thee each night and day (6:06) ; She's gone, disdaining liberty and life ; New scenes of joy (6:24) -- La Lucrezia (cantata) (20:51) -- Serse. Se bramate d'amar, chi vi sdegna (6:39) ; Frondi tenere e belle ; Ombra mai fù (3:54).
