Aureng-Zebe -- or The Great Mogul

A play - incidental music by Henry Purcell (1658/9 - 1695)

1. I see, she flies me
(Sung text)

Language: English

I see she flies me ev'rywhere,
Her eyes her scorn discover;
But what's her scorn or my despair,
Since 'tis my fate to love her.
Were she but kind whom I adore,
I might live longer, but not love her more.
