Blessed Sheriff. [APPLAUSE]
"Love Armed" BY Aphra Behn Song from Abdelazar
Love in Fantastic Triumph sat, Whilst Bleeding Hearts around him flowed, For whom Fresh pains
he did Create, And strange Tyrannic power he showed; From thy Bright Eyes he took his
fire, Which round about, in sport he hurled; But 'twas from mine he took desire. Enough
to undo the Amorous World. From me he took his sighs and tears, From thee his Pride and
Cruelty; From me his Languishments and Fears, And every Killing Dart from thee; Thus thou
and I, the God have armed, And set him up a Deity; But my poor Heart alone is harmed,
Whilst thine the Victor is, and free. [APPLAUSE]
