by Henry Purcell (1658/9-1695) , "Sweeter than roses", Z. 585 no. 1 (1695), from Incidental Music to Pausanius, the Betrayer of his Country

Nancy Argenta

Sweeter than roses, or cool evening breeze
On a warm flowery shore, was the dear kiss,
First trembling made me freeze,
Then shot like fire all o'er.
What magic has victorious love!
For all I touch or see since that dear kiss,
I hourly prove, all is love to me.
