King Arthur, Z. 628 (Suckling/McCreesh Edition), Act IV: Passacaglia – How Happy the Lover / For Love Every Creature (Chorus)
Henry Purcell
How happy the lover
How easy his chain
How happy the lover
How pleasing his pain
How sweet to discover!
He sighs not in vain
For love ev'ry creature
Is form'd by his nature
No joys are above
The pleasures of love
