It is true, Handel did use this (at least) twice. But this is the "lascia ch'io pianga" from Rinaldo (Almirena is a character in "Rinaldo"). The other version is "Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa" and I think that was earlier than Rinaldo.
It was really quite common for Baroque composers to recycle music before the copyright laws were enacted. Bach was one of the few big name composers to actually give credit to his sources (most of the time). I don't remember the cantata's title, but didn't he take pergolesi's Stabat Mater (save for the libretto?)
brilliant

it is ... Handel was an early endorser of recycling ... in that regard, Rinaldo is remarkably green in many places!
