Plaintive and moving phrasing that seems at first honest and without some characteristic affectations.
Those weren't Handel embellishments (3:45 etc)..stranger still is that rather than building the image of a pure heart horrified and scandalized by the prospect of being raped & prostituted, she sounds orgasmic!
Suddenly the "take me, oh take me" has a new meaning.
This might be the danger of being the self-aware possessor of a beautiful voice: ignoring the operatic oratorio context/plot.

Indeed, regardless of time, one of the most beautiful sounds God has ever created.
