《Purcell: King Arthur， or The British Worthy (1691) / Act 5 - Fairest Isle》歌词

[00:00:00] Fairest Isle (普赛尔：最美的小岛) - Andreas Scholl/Accademia Bizantina/Stefano Montanari

[00:00:01] Written by：Henry Purcell/John Dryden

[00:00:59] Fairest Isle

[00:01:03] All isles excelling

[00:01:07] Seat of pleasure and of love

[00:01:14] Venus here will choose her dwelling

[00:01:21] And forsake her Cyprian grove

[00:01:28] Cupid from his fav'rite nation

[00:01:35] Care and energy will remove

[00:01:42] Jealousy that poisnous passion

[00:01:50] And despair that dies for love

[00:02:42] Gentle murmers sweet complaining

[00:02:50] Sighs that blow the fire of love

[00:02:58] Soft repulses kind disdaining

[00:03:05] Shall be all the pains you prove

[00:03:13] Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty

[00:03:20] Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove

[00:03:27] And as these excel in beauty

[00:03:35] Those shall be renowned for love
