Roderick Williams, baritone
Iain Burnside, piano

A. E. Housman (1859--1936)

A Shropshire Lad. 1896.
XXIII. The lads in their hundreds

THE LADS in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair,
There's men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold,
The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there,
And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old.

There's chaps from the town and the field and the till and the cart,
And many to count are the stalwart, and many the brave,
And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart,
And few that will carry their looks or their truth to the grave.

I wish one could know them, I wish there were tokens to tell
The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern;
And then one could talk with them friendly and wish them farewell
And watch them depart on the way that they will not return.

But now you may stare as you like and there's nothing to scan;
And brushing your elbow unguessed-at and not to be told
They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man,
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old.

O mistress mine
by William Shakespeare

O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true-love's coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers' meeting—
Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty,—
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

John Gay (1685-1732)

Love in her eyes sits playing,
And sheds delicious death;
Love on her lips is straying,
And warbling in her breath!
Love on her breast sits panting
And swells with soft desire;
No grace, no charm is wanting,
To set the heart on fire.

(Aria)
Sich üben im Lieben,
in Scherzen sich herzen
ist besser als Florens vergängliche Lust.
Hier quellen die Wellen,
hier lachen und wachen
die siegenden Palmen auf Lippen und Brust.

To be constant in love's actions
and to rejoice with a light heart
is better than to enjoy Spring's transient fever.
Here the waves of love well up,
here the signs of victory
laugh joyously, and stand guard over the lips and the heart.

(Gavotte) from 4:10
Sehet in Zufriedenheit
tausend helle Wohlfahrtstage,
Daß bald bei der Folgezeit
eure Liebe Blumen trage!

Behold in calm contentment
a thousand fair and prosperous days,
and it will soon happen
that your love shall bear flowers!

And if I were not to have such plenty,

Ich esse mit Freuden mein weniges Brot
und gönne dem Nächsten von Herzen das Seine.
Ein ruhig Gewissen, ein fröhlicher Geist,

Vermehret den Segen, versückert die Not.

I eat with joy the frugal meal that is mine
and leave my neighbor in peace with what is his.
A quiet conscience, a joyful spirit,
a thankful heart that sings God's praises,
increases my blessings and sweetens my need.
