Georg Friedrich Händel. Tenor 'Twas at the royal feast, for Persia won By Philip's warlike son: Aloft in awful state The god-like hero sate On his imperial throne: His valiant peers were plac'd around; Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound. So should desert in arms be crown'd. The lovely Thais by his side Sate like a blooming Eastern bride, In flow'r of youth, and beauty's pride.

Alexander's Feast (HWV 75) is an ode with music by George Frideric Handel set to a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton. Hamilton adapted his libretto from John Dryden's ode Alexander's Feast, or the Power of Music (1697) which had been written to celebrate Saint Cecilia's Day. Jeremiah Clarke (whose score is now lost) set the original ode to music. Handel composed the music in January 1736, and the work received its premiere at the Covent Garden Theatre, London, on 19 February 1736
