[RV Williams] Orpheus with his lute

Orpheus playing his lyre by Benedetto Gennari Orpheus with his lute Text: Shakespeare, Henry VIII, Act III scene 1 Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountain-tops that freeze, Bow themselves, when he did sing: To his music, plants and flowers Ever sprung; as sun and showers There had made a lasting spring. Everything that heard him play, Even the billows of the sea, Hung their heads, and then lay by. In sweet music is such art: Killing care and grief of heart Fall asleep, or, hearing, die. 오르페우스가 류트와 노래하면 나무들와 굳어버린 산 꼭지들은 그 머리를 굽인다네. 그의 음악에 초목과 꽃들은 피어나고 해와 소나기처럼 거기 오래 봄을 이루게 했다오. 그의 노래를 들은 모든 것 바다의 큰 물결 조차 고개 숙여 잠잠해진다네. 달콤한 음악에 이런 능력이 있으니 마음의 걱정과 슬픔을 없애 잠 재우거나, 들어, 사라지게 한다네. Ralph Vaughan Williams, "Orpheus with his Lute" 3 Songs from Shakespeare, No. 3 Sarah Fox, Sop Matthew Long
