Since Absence, Air de cour by Michel Lambert

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Collection Airs for one, II, III & IV partsThemes LovePeriod 17th century

Since absence has too little power,
To flatter my sorrows & relieve my pain:
Let us go, let us go see Climène again,
If I have the displeasure of seeing her inhuman,
I will at least have the pleasure of seeing her.

Whatever severity I may foresee,
Since she is in my eyes so charming & so beautiful:
Let us go live & die for her,
If I have the displeasure of seeing her again cruel
I will at least have the pleasure of seeing her.

Michel Lambert
