170 KING ARTHUR. Dance with a song, all with branches i?i their hands. Song. How happy the lover, How easy his chain, How pleasing his pain, How sweet to discover He sighs not in vain. For love every creature Is form'd by his nature ; No joys are above The pleasures of love. The dance continues, with the same measure played alone. H. In vain are our graces. In vain are your eyes. If love you despise ; When age furrows faces 'Tis time to be wise. Then use the short blessing, That flies in posses...sing : No joys are above The pleasures of love. Arthur. And what are the fantastic fairy joys To love like mine? false joys, false welcomes all. Begone, ye sylvan trippers of the green ; Fly after night, and overtake the moon. [ The dancers, singers, and Syrens vanish." The duet in this scene, " Two daughters of an aged stream are we/' is one of the very happiest efforts of Purcell's genius. In imagining it, he at once leaped over the space of a ceptury and a half, and anticipated all the grace, refinement, and expression, which a long line of his successors, down to the present day, have been able to bestow upon melody.
