Where e'er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade ....

We used to sing this piece by George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) for our music teacher, Harry Banks -- also an organist of great repute and an experimental virtuoso on the instrument in the chapel of Girard College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (circa 1948-1955). The poem is by William Congreve (1670-1729), British, English I presume.  Congreve also wrote "some of the most popular English plays of the Restoration period
