The Masque of Cupid and Bacchus: No. 9, "The Cares of Lovers, Their Allarms"

Lyrics: Anonymus Music: Henry Purcell CUPID The Cares of Lovers, their Allarms, Their sighs, their tears have Pow’rfull Charms. And if so sweet their torment is, Ye Gods how ravishing the Bliss! So soft so gentle is their pain ’Tis ev’en a pleasure to complain.
