Air by Mr. Dodd [from Songs, Duos, Trios, Chorusses, &c., in the Comic Opera of the Carnival of Venice, as it is Performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane]

London

1781

"For when Care or dull Sorrow perplexes our breasts,
He can banish the Senses that harbour such Guests!"

But no charm that He gives no delight He supplies,
Is so sweet as the Opiate He sheds o'er our sighs;
For when Care or dull Sorrow perplexes our breasts,
He can banish the Senses that harbour such Guests!
To his God-head let Mortals then fervently call,
Who can sooth every Sense, by suspending them all.
