Rosseter: When Laura smiles - Sir Peter Pears/Julian Bream

作曲：Philip Rosseter

When Laura smiles her sight reuiues both night and day

The earth and heauen viewes with delight her wanton play

And her speech with euer flowing musicke doth repaire

The cruell wounds of sorrow and vntam'd despaire

Dianas eyes are not adorn'd with greater power

Then Laura when she lists awhile for sport to loure

But when she her eyes encloseth blindnes doth appeare

The chiefest grace of beautie sweetelie seated there

Loue hath no fire but what he steales from her bright eyes

Time hath no power but that which in her pleasure lyes

For she with her deuine beauties all the world subdues

And fils with heau'nly spirits my humble muse
