Cantate, Rv 684 "Cessate, Omai Cessate": Ii. Ah Ch'Infelice Sempre
Andreas Scholl
5:17Flow my tears Fall from your springs! Exilde forever Let me morne Where night's black bird hir Sad infamy sings There let me live For-lorne Downe vaine lights Shine you no more! No nights are dark enough For those That in despaire their Lost for tuns de-plore Light doth but shame Disclose Never may my woes be relieved Since pity is fled And teares and sighes and grones My wearie dayes My wearie dayes Of all joyes have deprived From the highest spire of contentment My fortune is throwne And feare and griefe and paine For my deserts For my deserts Are my hopes since hope is gone Harke you shadowes that in darcknesse dwell Learne to contemne light Happie, happie they that in hell Feele not the world's despite Harke you shadowes that in darcknesse dwell Learne to contemne light Happie, happie they that in hell Feele not the world's despite
