shareThe first that Emma sings is Silent Worship from Ptolemy
Did you not hear my lady
Go down the garden singing
Blackbird and thrush were silent
To hear the alleys ringing
Oh, saw you not my lady
Out in the garden there
Shaming the rose and lily
For she is twice as fair
Though I am nothing to her
Though she must rarely look at me
Though I can never woo her
I'll love her 'till I die
Did you not hear my lady
Go down the garden singing
Silencing all the songbirds
And setting the alleys ringing
Surely you heard my lady
Out in the garden there
Rivaling the glittering sunshine
With the glory of golden hair
And the second is from the opera
"Virgins Are Like the Fair Flower" Jane Fairfax sings this one
from "The Beggar's Opera" by John Gay (1728) (as is listed on the imdb)
thank you ever so much for having the lyrics of the song on here. It has been stuck in my head for over a day, but I could not remember all the words. And I do love the song.
shareThe song Jane sings is called "Virgins Are Like the Fair Flower" from The Beggar's Opera by John Gay.
Virgins are like the fair flower in its lustre,
Which in the garden enamels the ground
Near is bees in play flutter and cluster,
And gaudy Butterflies frolick around
But, when once plucked, 'tis no longer allurign,
To Covent Garden 'tis send(as yet sweet)
There fades and shrinks,
And grows past all endurign
Rots, stinks and dies, and is trod
