Lyrics Dido and Aeneas, Z. 626, Act 3: "Your Counsel All Is Urg'd in Vain" - "Great Minds Against Themselves Conspire" (Dido, Aeneas, Belinda, Chorus) - Michel Corboz
Your
counsel
all
is
urged
in
vain
To
earth
and
heaven
I
will
complain
To
earth
and
heaven
for
the
woe
I
call
Earth
and
heaven
do
espal
my
fall
To
fate
I
sue,
of
other
means
bereft
The
only
refuge
for
the
wretched
left
See,
madam,
see,
when
the
prince
appears
Such
sorrow
in
his
look
he
bears
As
would
convince
you
still
he's
true
What
shall
lost
Aeneas
do?
How,
how,
royal
fair,
shall
I
impart
The
gods'
decree,
and
tell
you
we
must
part?
Thus
on
the
fatal
banks
of
Nile
Weeps
the
deceitful
crocodile
Thus,
hypocrites,
that
murder
tact
May
heaven
judge
the
authors
of
the
fact
By
all
that's
good
By
all
that's
good?
No
more
all
that's
good?
You
have
forswore
To
your
promised
empire
fly
And
let
forsaken
die,
or
die
In
spite
of
Jove's
commands,
I'll
stay
Offend
the
gods,
and
love
obey
No
faithless
man
thy
course
pursue
I
now
resolve
as
well
as
you
No
repentance
shall
reclaim
The
injur'd,
the
slighted
claim
For
'tis
enough,
good
Eurydice
That
you
had
once
a
thought
of
leaving
me
Let
Jove
say
what
he
please,
I'll
stay
Away,
away
No,
no,
I'll
stay
Away,
away
No,
no,
I'll
stay
No,
no
I'll
stay
Away,
away,
away
I'll
stay,
and
you
obey
Away,
away,
away
I'll
stay,
and
you
obey
Away,
away,
go
back
I'll
stay,
and
you
obey
Away,
away,
go
back
I'll
stay,
and
you
obey
Away,
away,
give
up,
and
go
in
vain
I'll
stay,
and
you
obey
Away,
away,
away
But
death,
Alas!
I
cannot
shun
Death
must
come
when
he's
gone
Great
minds,
against
themselves
conspire
Great
minds,
great
minds,
against
themselves
conspire
And
shall
they
not,
and
shall
they
not
And
shall
they
not,
and
shall
they
not
And
shall
they
not
conspire?
