Henry Purcell, "What Can We Poor Females Do?"
And I think Handel's aria for soprano from Semele, "Myself I Shall Adore" is absolutely hilarious! Especially if its sung while looking at yourself in a mirror (or, as in the production I saw, a hand mirror frame with no glass, so the audience isn't blocked from your face).
