You Could Never, My Eyes

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

You could never, my eyes, shed too many tears,
Iris, ungrateful Iris forbids me to see her,
My heart had foreseen it through its sad alarms,
In the excess of my despair,
You could never, my eyes, shed too many tears.
It is through you that I saw the charms of the ungrateful one who changed me,
It is you, alas! it is you who engaged me:
You could never, my eyes, shed too many tears.
