Songteksten

So all the boons indulgent Heav'n design'd,

To show'r on those whom holy hands have join'd,

Illustrious Pair, shall on your heads be shed,

And easy make your consecrated bed,

Where mutual passions shall preserve desires

As sacred as the Vestals kept their fires.

Hence, without scheme or figure to descry,

Events to come from your nativity

Do we foretell: as ev'ry king that reigns

Through Europe shares the blood that fills your veins,

So shall the race from your great loins to come

Prove future kings and queens of Christendom.

Written by: Henry Purcell
