The cares, the cares of lovers
Their ala...arms
Their sighs and tears
Have po...owerful charms

And if so sweet their to...orment is
Ye Gods, ye Gods, how ravishing
Ye Gods, how ravishing
How ravishing the bliss!

So soft, so gentle
So soft, so gentle is their pain
'Tis even a plea...asure to complain


[ Thomas Shadwell ]

The cares of lovers, their alarms
Their sighs and tears have powerful charms
And if so sweet their torment is
Ye Gods, how ravishing the bliss!
So soft, so gentle is their pain
'Tis even a pleasure to complain
