DaCapo Aria
R. Buckle
Come with native lustre shine
With native lustre shine
Moderation, Grace divine,
Moderation, Grace divine.
Whom the wise God of nature gave,
Mad mortals from themselves to save.
Keep, as of old, the middle way,
As of old the middle way,
Keep, as of old, the middle way,
The middle way, the middle way.
Nor deeply sad, nor idly gay,
Nor deeply sad, nor idly gay.
