(H.Purcell)
|
This is a piece, for a mezzo-soprano voice, from Dido and Aeneas, an opera composed by Henry Purcell in 1681. Jeff performed it live in his exhibition at Meltdown Festival, London, on July 1 1995.
|
Thy hand, belinda, darkness shades me.
|
On thy bosom let me rest.
|
More I would, but death invades me.
|
Death is now a welcome guest.
|
|
When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
|
No trouble in thy breast.
|
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
