¶Liedtext

If Wine and Music have the pow'r To ease the sickness of the soul; Let Phoebus ev'ry string explore, And Bacchus fill the sprightly bowl. Let Them their friendly aid employ, To make my Chloe's absence light; And seek for pleasure, to destroy The sorrows of this live-long night. But she tomorrow will return: Venus, be thou tomorrow great; Thy myrtles strew, thy odours burn, And meet thy fav'rite nymph in state. Kind goddess, to no other pow'rs Let us tomorrow's blessings own: My darling love shall guide the hours; And all the day be thine alone.
