Versi[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

IS SHE NOT PASSING FAIR?

Is she not passing fair,

She whom I love so well ?

On earth, in sea, or air,

Where may her equal dwell ?

Oh! tell me, ye who dare

To brave her beauty's spell,

Is she not passing fair,

She whom I love so well ?

Whether she speak or sing,

Be jocund or serene,

Alike in ev'rything,

Is she not beauty's queen ?

Then let the world declare,

Let all who see her tell,

That she is passing fair,

She whom I love so well !
