¶Lyrics / Text

'''Act V''' ::::''1.'' :Fairest Isle, all isles excelling. :Seat of pleasure and of love, :Venus here will choose her dwelling, :And forsake her Cyprian grove. :Cupid from his fav'rite nation, :Care and energy will remove; :Jealousy that poisnous passion, :And despair that dies for love. ::::''2.'' :Gentle murmers sweet complaining, :Sighs that blow the fire of love, :Soft repulses, kind distaining, :Shall be all the pains you prove. :Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty, :Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove; :And as these excel in beauty, :Those shall be renowned for love.
