Z 626 Dido and Aeneas III, 1: "Come away, fellow sailors". [Italian translation]

Scene: The Ships

[enter the Sailors, the Sorceress, and her Enchantresses]

PRELUDE

FIRST SAILOR:

Come away, fellow sailors,

Your anchors be weighing.

Time and tide will admit no delaying.

Take a bouzy short leave

Of your nymphs on the shore,

And silence their mourning

With vows of returning

But never intending to visit them more.

CHORUS:

Come away, fellow sailors,

your anchors be weighing.

Time and tide will admit no delaying.

Take a bouzy short leave

of your nymphs on the shore,

And silence their mourning

With vows of returning

But never intending to visit them more.

THE SAILORS' DANCE.
