(h.purcell)
This is a piece, for a soprano voice, from dido and aeneas, an opera composed by henry purcell in 1681. jeff performed it live in his exhibition at meltdown festival, london, on july 1 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.
