OH! LISTEN, LOVE, TO ME
33
Ah! sometimes I am sad, and filled with fears,
For when the soft Rain falls, I see your Tears,
Then anguished pray I, that the Gods avert
All Grief and Pain that would your Body hurt,
Yet, if it must be so, then, grant this grace,
Dear God! that I might suffer in her place!
Oh! Listen, Love, to me!
For when the soft Rain falls, I see your Tears,
Then anguished pray I, that the Gods avert
All Grief and Pain that would your Body hurt,
Yet, if it must be so, then, grant this grace,
Dear God! that I might suffer in her place!
Oh! Listen, Love, to me!
