Clori Tirsi e Fileno Cantata a tre HWV 96 subtitled Cor fedele in vano speri (A faithful heart hopes in vain) is a 1707 comic cantata by George Frideric Handel. The subject is a pretty shepherdess who loves two young men but loses both when they discover her fickleness. Believed lost for many years the score is the source of arias in some of Handel’s later more celebrated operas.
