Oedipus, Z.583 : Purcell: Oedipus, Z.583: Music for a While

by James Bowman

Lyrics
Music, music for a while shall all your cares beguile
Shall all, all, all, shall all, all
All, shall all your cares beguile
Wond'ring, wond'ring how your pains were eased
Eased, eased, and disdaining to be pleased
Till Alecto free the dead
Till Alecto free the dead from their eternal, eternal deaths
Till the snakes drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
Drop from her head and the whip, and the whip from out her hands
Music, music for a while shall all your cares beguile
Shall all, all, all, shall all, all
All, shall all your cares beguile
All, all, all, all, all, all, all, shall all your cares beguile
