Act 2 - Melisso recalls Ruggiero to reason and duty by letting him wear the magic ring: under its influence, Ruggiero sees the island as it really is-a desert, peopled with monsters. Appalled, he realizes he must leave, and sings the famous aria "Verdi prati" ("Green meadows") where he admits that even though he knows the island and Alcina are mere illusion, their beauty will haunt him for the rest of his life. (from Wikipedia)
You won't get a new house builder singing this. As it must sound like the name of Christ to Satan's ears. Every time I listen to this rich and peaceful music from Handel, I wonder just how long England will remain a verdant land?
You are SO right! Both Tory party and Labour party and even the Green party (!) promise voters they will build masses of new homes a million promises Labour gleefully and not a word of sorow not a word of regret, they don't seem to care about the loss of land of the beauty destroyed. To house as many human beings as possible regardless of the worth of said human beings is prioroty. According to humanism all human life is "sacred" and other life has to give way to the human species, however polluting, corrupt, destructive, worthless. Rampant humanism is destroying our God given planet.
Verdi prati, selve amene, perderete la beltà. Vaghi fior, correnti rivi, la vaghezza, la bellezza presto in voi si cangerà. Verdi prati, selve amene, perderete la beltà. E cangiato il vago oggetto all'orror del primo aspetto tutto in voi ritornerà.
One of the most beautiful aria👏👏

Eccellente interpretazione
Verdi prati, selve amene,
perderete la beltà.
Vaghi fior, correnti rivi,
la vaghezza, la bellezza
presto in voi si cangerà.
Verdi prati, selve amene,
perderete la beltà.
E cangiato il vago oggetto
all'orror del primo aspetto
tutto in voi ritornerà.
