When I Was Alone, Air de cour by Michel Lambert

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Themes LovePeriod 17th century

When I was alone near Silvie,
I believed I would spend a life,
Sweet, tranquil & and without desire:
And I had made it a pleasure
To have been able to resist the eyes of this beauty;

But alas! how wrong I was
As soon as I saw Tircis attach himself beside her,
I saw that I was her Rival.

Michel Lambert
