Original text and translations
English text If music be the food of love, |
German translation Wenn die Musik der Liebe Nahrung ist, |
The first line of Heveningham's poem quotes the opening seven words of Twelfth Night by Shakespeare, giving rise to the belief that Purcell's song is a setting of a Shakespearean text, when it is not. The play begins:
- If music be the food of love, play on,
- Give me excess of it, that surfeiting,
- The appetite may sicken, and so die.
