How Loath I Am to Leave This Lovely Grove

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Themes LovePeriod 17th century

How loath I am to leave this lovely grove,
A day, a single moment deepens its shade;
But I fear to see there again a shepherd too charming:
Let us flee, let us flee without further delay,
Perhaps a newborn love
Makes me love this fair retreat,
Rather than the newborn foliage.

Michel Lambert
