2. Recit. (S) He knows not what true grief is 3. Aria (S) Go thou, then, to our deep sadness,
Most fitly wilt thou serve her; Pass on from shore to shore now, Propitious find the wind and billows. 4. Recit. (S) Thy knowledge the span of thy years belieth, 5. Aria (S) To port now with fear and with sorrow,
But upon his prow contented Doth with singing face the sea. © Copyright Z. Philip Ambrose |
