Z 626 Dido and Aeneas III, 2: See the flags and streamers curling. [Italian translation]
SORCERESS
See the flags and streamers curling
Anchors weighing, sails unfurling.
FIRST WITCH
Phoebe's pale deluding beams
Guilding more deceitful streams.
SECOND WITCH
Our plot has took,
The Queen's forsook
TWO WITCHES
Elissa's ruin'd, ho, ho!
Our plot has took,
The Queen's forsook, ho, ho!
SORCERESS
Our next Motion
Must be to storme her Lover on the Ocean!
From the ruin of others our pleasures we borrow,
Elissa bleeds tonight, and Carthage flames tomorrow.
CHORUS
Destruction's our delight
Delight our greatest sorrow!
Elissa dies tonight and Carthage flames tomorrow.
