[00:04.00]Lyrics by：John Dryden
[00:04.77]Composed by：Henry Purcell
[00:05.61]
[00:06.35]Fairest isle all isles excelling
[00:11.82]Seat of pleasures and of loves
[00:16.92]
[00:17.54]Venus here will chuse her dwelling
[00:23.23]And forsake her cyprian groves
[00:28.38]
[00:28.89]Cupid from his fav'rite nation
[00:34.12]
[00:34.71]Care and envy will remove
[00:40.34]Jealousy that poisons passion
[00:46.42]And despair that dies for love
[00:51.72]
[01:40.53]Gentle murmurs sweet complaining
[01:46.36]Sighs that blow the fire of love
[01:51.81]
[01:52.31]Soft repulses kind disdaining
[01:58.42]Shall be all the pains you prove
[02:04.80]Every swain shall pay his duty
[02:10.57]Grateful every nymph shall prove
[02:16.46]And as these excel in beauty
[02:22.78]Those shall be renown'd for love
