Music for a while
Music for a whileShall all your cares beguile :Wond’ring how your pains were eas’dAnd disdaining to be pleas’dTill Alecto free the deadFrom their eternal bands,Till the snakes drop from her head,And the whip from out her hands.
by John Dryden (1631-1700)
by Nathaniel Lee (1653 ?-1692)
Henry Purcell (1658/9-1695) , "Music for a while", Z. 583 no. 2, from Orpheus Britannicus, Vol. II (1692 ?)
