Whence could so much virtue spring? What storms, what battles did he sing? Anchises' valour mixed with Venus charms How soft, how soft in peace And yet how fierce, how fierce in arms A tale so strong and full of woe Might melt the rocks as well as you What stubborn heart unmoved could see Such distress, such piety Mine with storms of care oppressed Is taught to pity the distressed Mean wretches' grief can touch So soft, so sensible my breast But ah, but ah, I fear, I pity his too much Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Ever gentle, ever smiling And the cares of life beguiling Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Cupid strew your path with flowers Gathered from Elysian bowers Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Ever gentle, ever smiling And the cares of life beguiling Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you Cupid strew your path with flowers Gathered from Elysian bowers Fear no danger to ensue The hero loves as well as you
