Dido and Aeneas, ACT 1: Scene: The Palast: If not for mine, for Empire's sake (Aeneas-Belinda)

If not for mine, for Empire's sake,
Some Pity on your Lover take.
Ah! make not in a hopeless Fire,
A Hero fall, and Troy once more Expire.
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue, persue,
Persue thy Conquest,
Persue thy Conquest, Love
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue, persue,
Persue thy Conquest,
Persue thy Conquest, Love: her Eyes
Confess the Flame.
Her Eyes
Confess the Flame, her Tongue Denyes.
Her Eyes Confess the Flame.
Her Eyes Confess the Flame, her Tongue Denyes.
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue thy Conquest, Love.
Pursue, persue,
Persue thy Conquest,
Persue thy Conquest, Love.
Persue thy Conquest, Love.
