The melody for the song began its life as an Asian dance in his 1705 opera Almira. As an aria, the piece was first used in Handel's 1707 oratorio Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno, albeit with a different text and name, \"Lascia la spina\". Handel later recycled the work for his 1711 opera Rinaldo, giving the aria to the character Almirena (portrayed by soprano Isabella Girardeau in the opera's premiere) in act 2. Rinaldo was a major triumph for Handel, and it is with this work that the aria is chiefly associated."@en }
