[00:00.30]Composed by：Henry Purcell
[00:01.73]There's not a swain on the plain
[00:03.24]Would be bless'd like me oh
[00:05.50]Could you but
[00:06.09]Could you but
[00:06.72]Could you but on me smile
[00:10.04]But you appear so severe
[00:12.10]That trembling with fear
[00:13.36]My heart goes pit-a-pat
[00:14.69]Pit-a-pat pit-a-pat all the while
[00:19.11]There's not a swain on the plain
[00:20.82]Would be bless'd like me oh
[00:23.22]Could you but
[00:23.84]Could you but
[00:24.44]Could you but on me smile
[00:28.04]But you appear so severe
[00:29.68]That trembling with fear
[00:31.64]My heart goes pit-a-pat
[00:33.03]Pit-a-pat pit-a-pat all the while
[00:37.39]When I cry must I die
[00:39.05]You make no reply but look shy
[00:41.48]And with a scornful eye
[00:43.16]Kill me by your cruelty
[00:46.86]Oh can you be
[00:48.13]Can you be
[00:48.73]Can you be
[00:49.39]Can you be
[00:50.17]Can you be
[00:50.80]Can you be
[00:51.42]Can you be
[00:52.83]Oh could be
[00:53.66]Can you be so hard to me
[00:57.70]When I cry must I die
[00:59.87]You make no reply but look shy
[01:02.24]And with a scornful eye
[01:04.08]Kill me by your cruelty
[01:08.41]Oh can you be
[01:09.40]Can you be
[01:09.98]Can you be
[01:10.58]Can you be
[01:11.18]Can you be
[01:11.82]Can you be
[01:12.56]Can you be
[01:13.91]Can you can you
[01:14.77]Can you be so hard to me
