"It was Handel's first comic opera, which broke away from the Opera Seria tradition. It was rejected by the Royal Academy of Music, because of its frivolous nature, with relatively few extended arias and more recitative." - Wikipedia. PARTENOPE Io ti levo l'impero dell'armi, non l'impero dell'anima mia; [perché amor non ingiusta può farmi, benché faccia ch'il core ti dia.] Translation (by Marc D. and Eser): I remove from you the empire of the arms, not the empire over my soul; [because love cannot make me unjust, although it makes me give you my heart.]
