Let me depart, since ye are happy here.

PUELLÆ

Come back! like such a singer is the wind,

As to a sad tune sings fair words and kind,

That he with happy tears all eyes may blind!

Abide! abide! for we are happy here.

AMANS

Did I not hear her sweet voice cry from far,

That o'er the lonely waste fair fields there are,

Fair days that know not any change or care?
