FactoidSung by Grace Davidson, a specialist in early music, this was one of the first English operas. This aria reflects Dido's despair when she is abandoned by the Trojan hero Aeneas. The rock band The Who cites Purcell as one of their chief influences. You might need to listen very hard to see how.
