Song: O fairest maid I own thy pow’r, I gaze, I sigh,...

by James Nares . For Four voices , in D minor

Text:

O fairest maid I own thy pow’r, I gaze, I sigh, I languish,
yet ever, ever must adore and triumph in my anguish,
ease then, O charmer, ease my pain and let my torments move thee,
as thou art fairest of the fair, so I the dearest love thee.
