Robert Hollingworth & I Fagliolini
fair oriana seeming to wink at folly
Select language to translate this lyric
Fair Oriana, seeming to wink at folly,
Lay softly down to sleeping.
But, hearing that the world was grown unholy,
Her rest was turned to weeping.
So waked, she sighed, and with crossed arms
Sat drinking tears for others' harms.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana:
Long live fair Oriana.
