Apollo Et Hyacinthus, K. 38: No 7. Aria: Iam Pastor Apollo (Apollo)

APOLLO:
Iam pastor Apollo
Custodio greges,
Nixus et baculo
Vigilans sto:
Iam pascere nolo
Et visito reges,
Iam medicinas
Mortalibus do.
Moestus levare,
Aegros iuvare
Est sola tangens
Apollinem res:
Hinc me manente,
Vobis favente,
Rex omni rege
Beatior es.

APOLLO:
At times I am Apollo the shepherd,
Guarding my flocks,
leaning on my staff
and standing guard
but sometimes, not caring to graze my flocks,
I visit kings,
or then again give healing balms
to mortals.
To raise the spirits of the sad
and to help the sick
with my touch is
Apollo's one concern
as long as I remain here
and bestow my favour on you,
you are a king more blessed
than any other.
