PASSACAGLIA

TENOR I

How happy the lover,

How easy his chain!

How sweet to discover

He sighs not in vain.

CHORUS

How happy the lover,

How easy his chain!

How sweet to discover

He sighs not in vain.

RITORNELLO

SYLVAN & NYMPH

For love ev'ry creature

Is form'd by his nature.

No joys are above

The pleasures of love.

CHORUS

No joys are above.

The pleasures of love.

THREE NYMPHS

In vain are our graces,

In vain are your eyes.

In vain are our graces

If love you despise.

When age furrows faces,

'Tis too late to be wise.

THREE SYLVANS

Then use the sweet blessing

While now in possessing.

No joys are above

The pleasures of love.

THREE NYMPHS

No joys are above

The pleasures of love.

CHORUS

No joys are above

The pleasures of love.
