SONG
[The happiest Mortals once were we]
The happiest Mortals once were we,
I lov'd Mira, Mira me;
Each desirous of the Blessing,
Nothing wanting but possessing;
I lov'd Mira, Mira me,
The happiest Mortals once were we.
I lov'd Mira, Mira me;
Each desirous of the Blessing,
Nothing wanting but possessing;
I lov'd Mira, Mira me,
The happiest Mortals once were we.
But since cruel Fates dissever,
Torn from Love, and torn for ever,
Tortures end me,
Death befriend me;
Of all Pains, the greatest Pain,
Is to love, and love in vain.
Torn from Love, and torn for ever,
Tortures end me,
Death befriend me;
Of all Pains, the greatest Pain,
Is to love, and love in vain.
