Lyrics by：Nahum Tate/Virgil

Composed by：Henry Purcell

See see your Royal Guest appears

How Godlike is the form he bears

When when Royal Fair shall I be bless'd

With cares of love and state distress'd

Fate forbids what you pursue

Aeneas has no fate but you

Let Dido smile and I'll defy

The feeble stroke of Destiny

Cupid only throws the dart

That's dreadful to a warrior's heart

Cupid only throws the dart

That's dreadful to a warrior's heart

That's dreadful to a warrior's heart

And she that wounds

And she that wounds can only only cure the smart

Can only only cure the smart
