  • Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas

    Source: Wikipedia 

    Dido's Lament is the aria "When I am laid in earth" from the opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell

    == The Aeneid ==

    The text, and the Purcell opera, allude to the ''Aeneid'', the Roman legend of the Troy|Trojan warrior Aeneas, travelling to Italy from the betrayed and fallen Troy in order to settle there and secure his son Ascanius's lineage. Their ship is blown off course from Sicily, and they land on the shore of North Africa, in Carthage, a town newly settled by refugees from Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre. Aeneas falls in love with their queen, Dido, but dutifully departs for Italy leaving her. Distraught at his betrayal, she orders a pyre to be built and set ablaze so that Aeneas will see from his ship that she has killed herself. She sings the lament before stabbing herself as Aeneas sails on.

    Aria

    When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create
    No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
    Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
    Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
