John Dryden (1631~1700) - Amphitryon "Fair Iris I Love and hourly I die" Set by Kirke Mechem DORINE: Listen Mariane, Here's an old song About that kind of man, And what to do when he's away, It's your lesson for today. ~~~~~ Fair Robin I love and hourly I die, But not for a lip, nor a languishing eye; He's fickle and false, and there we agree, For I am as false and as fickle as he. I am as false and as fickle as he We neither believe what either can say; And neither believing, we neither betray. 'Tis civil to swear and say things, of course; We mean not the taking for better or worse. When present we love; when absent agree: I think not of Robin, nor Robin of me. The legend of love no couple can find, So easy to part or so easily joined. So easy to part or so easily joined.

"Fair Iris I Love and hourly I die"
Set by Kirke Mechem
DORINE:
Listen Mariane,
Here's an old song About that kind of man,
And what to do when he's away,
It's your lesson for today.

Fair Robin I love and hourly I die,
But not for a lip, nor a languishing eye;
He's fickle and false, and there we agree,
For I am as false and as fickle as he.
I am as false and as fickle as he
We neither believe what either can say;
And neither believing, we neither betray.
'Tis civil to swear and say things, of course;
We mean not the taking for better or worse.
When present we love; when absent agree:
I think not of Robin, nor Robin of me.
The legend of love no couple can find,
So easy to part or so easily joined.
So easy to part or so easily joined.
