paroles de chanson A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "Stay, Though Thou Kill Me, Sweet Demetrius" - Heather Harper feat. Thomas Hemsley, Sir Peter Pears, Josephine Veasey, London Symphony Orchestra & Benjamin Britten




Stay, though thou canst leave
Stay yet, Demetrius
I charge thee, hence, or go out without me
Ah, so wilt thou joke with me?
Leave me, do not so
Stay, on thy peril
I alone will go
What, wherefore this contest?
Far rather, never
Lesser is my grace
Happy is Hermia, wheresoe'er she lies
For she hath blessed and attractive eyes
Happy is Hermia
Alas, alas, I am as ugly as a bear, for
Beasts that meet me run away for fear
But who is here?
Lysander on the ground, dead or asleep?
I see no blood, no wound
Lysander, if you live!
Good sire, awake and love me
Ah, I will, for thy sweet sake
Godspell!
When nature shows her art, that through
My bosom makes me see thine heart
Where is Demetrius?
More fit to word, is that thy name do perish at my sword
Do not say so, Lysander
Say not so
What though he love you, Hermia, love not so
Yet Hermia still loves you, then be content
Content with Hermia?
No, I do repent the tedious minutes I with her have spent
Not Hermia, but Helen, all I love
Who will now change a raven for a dove?
Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born?
When at your hands did I deserve this scorn?
Good troth you do me wrong
Good sooth, you do
In such disdainful manner me to woo
Unfair you are, because I must confess
I thought your lord a true gentleman
This is not Hermia
Hermia sleep thou there, and never mayst thou come Lysander near
Sleep thou there, and all my powers address your love and
Might to honor, Helen, to honor, Helen, and to be honored
Lysander, help me, Lysander
What a dream was here
Lysander, look, Lysander
How I do quake with fear
Methought a serpent ate my heart away, and
You sat smiling at his cruel, cruel prey
Lysander, but remove
Lysander, help!
Help, I'm bleeding
Help!
No sound, no man
Alack, where are you?
Speak, and if you hear, speak of all loves, Lysander
I swoon almost with fear
Lysander, Lysander, Lysander, help!
