Dido and Aeneas, Z. 626:Act II Scene 1: Ruin'd ere the set of sun? (1st and 2nd Witches, Sorceress, Chorus)

Music: Henry Purcell TWO WITCHES Ruin'd ere the set of sun? Tell us, how shall this be done? SORCERESS The Trojan Prince, you know, is bound By Fate to seek Italian ground; The Queen and he are now in chase. FIRST WITCH Hark! Hark! the cry comes on apace. SORCERESS But, when they've done, my trusty Elf In form of Mercury himself As sent from Jove, shall chide his stay, And charge him sail tonight with all his fleet away. CHORUS Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
