Purcell: Dido and Aeneas - Realised: Imogen Holst & Benjamin Britten / Act 1 - "Shake the cloud from off your brow" - Norma Burrowes, The London Opera Chorus, Aldeburgh Festival Strings

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
