Artaxerxes, Act III: No. 26, Air: “’Tis not true that in our grief”
Thomas Arne
SEMIRA:
'Tis not true that in our grief
Others weeping in distress
To our troubles bring relief
Making each misfortune less
No, when sore oppress'd by Fate
Better 'tis to sigh alone
Than support a double weight
Others' sorrows, and our own
(Exit)
