Tyrannic Love -or- The Royal Martyr

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

2. Ah! how sweet it is to love
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Ah! how sweet it is to love;
how gay is young desire!
And what pleasing pains we prove,
When first we feel a lover's fire;
Pains of love are sweeter far,
Than all other pleasures are.
