why should men quarrel - henry purcell lyrics
wake, quivera, wake, our soft rest must cease
and fly together with our country’s peace;
no more must we sleep under plantain’s shade
which neither heat could pierce nor cold invade;
where bounteous nature never feels decay
and opening buds drive falling fruits away
why should men quarrel here, where all possess
as much as they can hope for by success?
none can have most wherе nature is so kind
as to exceed man’s use, though not his mind
by anciеnt prophecy we have been told
our land shall be subdu’d by one more old;
and see that world already hither come
if these be they we welcome then our doom
their looks are such that mercy flows from hence
more gentle than our native innocence;
by their protection let us beg to live:
they come not here to conquer, but forgive
if so your goodness may your power express
and we shall judge both best by our success
