Chapter VI: Part II

A ZEPHYR.
Great Love hath potent charms;
To him we yield our arms;
His cares and sorrows sweet
Have, too, their joy--though fleet!
To follow him, all hearts
Would court a thousand darts.
If we would taste his deep delight,
Ah! we must pine till fades the light
Before our eyes.
A worthless life it is--when love
Fills not the heart it fain would move!

_They sing together._

In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.

A ZEPHYR (_alone_).
'Midst hopes and fears,
And mystery and tears,
We cannot, without the touch of pain,
Bliss seek again.

BOTH (_together_).
In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.

A CUPID (_alone_).
What better deed is there to do
Than strive to please and softly woo?
A lover's part is sweetest care,
And this it is that all must bear.

BOTH (_together_).
In love if we must grieve and sigh,
A moment's bliss still well repays
The ills and woes of many days.
