In memoriam Edward W. Tayler (1931-2018)
As steals the morn upon the night,
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy’s charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.
—William Shakespeare, John Milton & Charles Jennens
“As steals the morn” shows Handel at his very best as a composer: he employs full, rich counterpoint throughout the aria, and he provides extended melismas for the soprano and tenor voices as well as the oboe and bassoon. The text was originally drawn from Shakespeare’s Tempest:
(aside) “The charm dissolves apace,
And as the morning steals upon the night,
Melting the darkness, so their rising senses
Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle
Their clearer reason... (Act 5, Scene 1)
The play as a whole was widely imitated in the baroque period, and Handel's librettist, Charles Jennens, combined Milton's "L'Allegro" and "Il Penseroso" and added his own "Moderato." Milton and Jennens borrow some of the evocative images and vocabulary from Shakespeare, such as "dissolve," "fancy," "charm" "morn & night," and scholar Laurence Lerner notes Shakespeare's influence on Milton's poems ("The English Poems of John Milton"). However, "As steals the morn" is based on Shakespeare and sourced from Jennens' contribution to the libretto, "Moderato."
L’Allegro premiered in February of 1740. The original cast was soprano Elisabeth Duparc (‘La Francesina’) a boy treble, tenor John Beard, and basses Henry Reinhold and William Savage.
Text:
As steals the morn upon the night,
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.

紀念愛德華·W·泰勒（1931-2018）
彷彿黎明偷偷溜進黑夜，
並融化陰影：
真理讓幻想的魅力消散，
而理性的崛起使
頭腦中瀰漫著煙霧，
恢復知性的日子。
— 威廉·莎士比亞、約翰·彌爾頓和查爾斯·詹南斯
「As steals the morn」 展現了亨德爾作為作曲家的最高水平：他在整個詠嘆調中運用了飽滿、豐富的對位，並且為女高音和男高音以及雙簧管和巴鬆管提供了延伸的花唱。該文本原取自莎士比亞的《暴風雨》：
（旁白）「魅力很快就消失了，
當清晨悄悄降臨黑夜時，
融化黑暗，讓他們的感官升起
開始追尋籠罩著的無知氣息
他們更明確的理由...（第五幕，第一場）
該劇整體在巴洛克時期被廣泛模仿，亨德爾的劇本作者查爾斯·詹南斯將彌爾頓的《快樂的人》和《沉思者》結合起來，並添加了自己的《中庸之道》。彌爾頓和詹南斯從莎士比亞的作品中藉用了一些富有感染力的意象和詞彙，例如“消失”、“幻想”、“魅力”、“早晨和夜晚”，學者勞倫斯·勒納也注意到莎士比亞對彌爾頓詩歌的影響（《約翰·彌爾頓的英文詩》）。然而，《As steals the morn》改編自莎士比亞的作品，源自詹寧斯為劇本《Moderato》所做的貢獻。
《快樂的人》於 1740 年 2 月首演。最初的演員陣容包括女高音伊麗莎白杜帕克 (“La Francesina”)、男高音約翰比爾德、男高音亨利雷因霍爾德和男低音威廉薩維奇。
