Love Betrayed, or The Agreeable Disappointment

A play - incidental music by John Eccles (1668 - 1735)

?. If I hear Orinda swear
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
If I hear Orinda swear
She cures my jealous smart;
The treachery becomes the fair,
And doubly fires my heart.

Beauty's strength and treasure
In falsehood still remain.
She gives the greatest pleasure
That gives the greatest pain.
