Dido's Lament

This is a piece, for a soprano voice, from Dido and Aeneas, an opera composed by Henry Purcell in 1681.
Jeff sang it live in his performance at the Meltdown Festival, London, on July 1st, 1995.

Thy hand, Belinda - darkness shades me.
On thy bosom, let me rest.
More I would, but death invades me -
Death is now a welcome guest.
When I am laid in earth
May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
