orpheus and euridice - william boyce lyrics

Loading...

when orpheus went down to the regions below
which men are forbidden to see
he tun’d up his lyre, as old histories show
to set his euridice free

all h*ll was astonish’d a person so wise
should rashly endanger his life
and venture so far ** but how vast their surprise
when they heard that he came for his wife!

to find out a punishment due to the fault
old pluto had puzzl’d his brain;
but h*ll had not torments sufficient, he thought
so he gave him his wife back again

but pity, succeeding, soon vanquished his heart
and, plеas’d with his playing so well
he took her again, in rеward of his art:
such power had music in h*ll!
