Remember me... (Henry Purcell)


  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, am laid in earth 
May my wrongs create 
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast; 
Remember me, remember me, 
But ah!  forget my fate. 
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate…
