Well, here's Damon in Handel's Acis and Galatea... recit and aria... perhaps
this is it?
Damon
Recit
Stay, shepherd, stay!
See, how thy flocks in yonder valley stray!
What means this melancholy air?
No more thy tuneful pipe we hear.
Aria
Shepherd, what art thou pursuing?
Heedless running to thy ruin;
Share our joy, our pleasure share.
Leave thy passion till tomorrow,
Let the day be free from sorrow,
Free from love, and free from care.
