john blow - lysander i persue in vain lyrics

Loading...

lysander i pursue in vain;
cruel lysander, thus to fly me;
belinda never must obtain
who is so great, will still deny me?

but am i not the god of love?
bring my trusty arms:
weak beauty must successless prove;
this dart has stronger charms

ah! feeble arms and hurtless dart!
nothing, nothing belinda can prevail
alas, what hopes to wound a heart
arm’d with a double coat of mail?

she that could n0ble conquests boast
now falls a victim to disdain and shame
belinda is forever lost;
mad that i loved and not suppressed the flame;

see, see not it rises to the sky
and turns a blazing star;
the frighted еarth looks pale and cries:
it threatеns universal war

two armies already join battle above:
the god of war fights the god of love
stand firm, my batallions;
the tyrant shall yield;
my reserve of wing’d archers will carry the field:
they fly, smite, flank and rear
so now will i storm your castle i’th’ air
the chariot of the sun in my rage overtuning;

consume the whole world
since belinda’s aburning
