(h.purcell)

This is a piecefor a soprano voicefrom dido and aeneasan opera composed by henry purcell in 1681. jeff performed it live in his exhibition at meltdown festivallondonon july 1 1995.

Thy handbelindadarkness shades me.

On thy bosom let me rest.

More I wouldbut death invades me.

Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earthmay my wrongs create

No trouble in thy breast.

Remember mebut ah! forget my fate.
