Purcell: Music for a While

Music, music for a while

Shall all your cares beguile

Shall all, all, all

Shall all, all, all

Shall all your cares beguile

Wond'ring, wond'ring

How your pains were eased, eased, eased

And disdaining to be pleased

'Til Alecto free the dead

'Til Alecto free the dead

From their eternal, eternal bands

'Til the snakes drop, drop, drop

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop from her head

And the whip

And the whip from out her hands

Music, music for a while

Shall all your cares beguile

Shall all, all, all

Shall all, all, all

Shall all your cares beguile

All, all

All, all

All, all

All, all

Shall all your cares beguile
