Georg Friedrich Händel, Consider fond shepherd

Consider, fond shepherd, how fleeting's the pleasure, that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! Consider, fond shepherd, how fleeting's the pleasure, that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! that flatters that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! that flatters our hopes, that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! The joys that attend it, by moments we measure, but life is too little to measure our care. The joys that attend it, by moments we measure, but life is too little to measure our care. Consider, fond shepherd, how fleeting's the pleasure, that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! Consider, fond shepherd, how fleeting's the pleasure, that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair! that flatters that flatters our hopes in pursuit of the fair!
