It is followed up in the same spirit by the chorus "Then shall they know" -- a fugue on two vigorous subjects, the first given out by the altos, and the second by the tenors. Samson's wrath subsides in the recitative "My genial Spirits droop" , and the first act closes with the beautifully constructed chorus "Then round about the starry Throne" , in which his friends console him with the joys he will find in another life. The second part, after a recitative, opens, with an aria by Manoah "Just are the Ways of God to Man" , in which he conjures Samson to repose his trust in God.
It is followed by the beautiful prayer of Micah "Return, return, O God of Host" , emphasized by the chorus to which it leads "To dust his Glory they would tread" , with which the prayer is interwoven in obligato form. From this point, as Delilah appears, the music is full of bright color, and loses its sombre tone. In a short recitative she excuses her misdeed, and then breaks out in an aria of sensous sweetness "With plaintive Notes and am'rous Moan, thus coos the Turtle left alone".
In bewitching grace, however, makes little impression upon Samson, who replies with the aria "Your Charms to Ruin led the Way". In another enticing melody "My Faith and Truth, O Samson, prove" , she seeks to induce him to return to her house, and a chorus of virgins add their entreaties. A last effort is made in the tasteful and elegant aria "To fleting Pleasures make your Court" ; but when that also fails, Delilah reveals her true self. Samson rebukes "her warbling charms," her "trains and wiles," and counts "this prison-house the house of liberty to thine" ; whereupon a highly characteristic duet ensues "Traitor to Love".
An aria for Micah follows "It is nor Virtue, Valor, Wit" , leading up to a powerful dissertation on masculine supremacy in a fugued chorus which is treated in a spirited manner. The giant Harapha now appears, and mocks Samson with the taunt that had met him before he was blind, he would have left him dead on the field of death, "where thou wrought'st Wonders with an Ass' Jaw. Samson replies with the majestic aria "My Strength is from the living God".
The two solos reach their climax in the energetic duet between the giants "Go, baffled Coward, go".
