King Arthur, Z. 628: Act V, Scene II, 35. “Round thy coasts, fair nymph of Britain” (Pan, a Nereid)

~ Work

Annotation

NEREID, PAN (soprano, bass)
Round thy coast, fair nymph of Britain,
For thy guard our waters flow:
Proteus all his herd admitting
On thy green to graze below:
Foreign lands thy fish are tasting;
Learn from thee luxurious fasting.

CHORUS
Round thy coast, fair nymph of Britain, etc.
