Purcell: Dido and Aeneas - Realised: Imogen Holst & Benjamin Britten / Act 1 - "Shake the cloud from off your brow"

Shake the cloud from off your brow
Fate your wishes doth allow
Empire growing
Pleasures flowing
Fortune smiles and so should you
Shake the cloud from off your brow
Shake the cloud from off your brow
Banish sorrow, banish care
Grief should ne’er approach the fair
Banish sorrow, banish care
Grief should ne’er approach the fair
Should ne’er approach the fair
Grief should ne’er, should ne’er approach the fair
