Гендель Георг Фридрих - Glorious hero - текст песни (слова)

Glorious hero, may thy grave
 Peace and honour ever have;
 After all thy pains and woes,
 Rest eternal, sweet repose!
 The virgins, too, shall on their feastful days
 Visit his tomb with flow'rs, and there bewail
 His lot unfortunate in nuptial choice.
 Bring the laurels, bring the bays,
 Strew his hearse, and strew the ways.
 May ev'ry hero fall like thee,
 Through sorrow to felicity.
