      Did someone write an opera about it? I can't find one save that Mozart is supposed to have planned one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_et_Roxane (the artist of the painting on that page should have sacked his agent...)

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
