My Eyes, What Your Pleasures

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

My eyes, how dearly your pleasures cost my heart,
You wished to see Sylvia,
And you have had the deadly sweetness of it:
If I have satisfied your longing,
Alas! alas! it is at the expense of the peace of my life.

Michel Lambert
