Lyrics Dido and Aeneas / Act 1: "Shake the cloud from off your brow" - "Banish sorrow, banish care" - Henry Purcell, The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock, Lynne Dawson & The English Concert Choir

Shake the Cloud from off your Brow,
Fate your wishes does Allow.
Empire Growing,
Pleasures Flowing,
Fortune Smiles and so should you,
Shake the Cloud from off your Brow.
Banish Sorrow, Banish Care,
Grief should ne're approach the Fair.
