Lyrics Dido and Aeneas, Z. 626, Act 2: Prelude for the Witches - "The Queen of Carthage Whom We Hate" (Sorceress, Chorus, Witches) - Michel Corboz




The Queen of Carthage, whom we hate
As we do all in prosperous state
In sunset shall most wretched prove
Deprived of fame, whom light hath loved
Ruined ere the set of sun
Tell us, tell us, tell us, tell us
How shall this be done?
The Trojan prince, you know, is bound
By fate to seek Italian ground
The Queen and he are now in chase
Hark! Hark! The guard comes on her pace
But when they've done, my trusty elf
In form of Mercury himself
Ascent from Jove shall join his stay
And charge him sail tonight with all his fleet away
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
But e'er with this profound, with conjugal storm
To mother hunting sport and ruin
And drive him back to court
And drive him back to court
And drive him back to court
To mother hunting sport and ruin
And drive him back to court
And drive him back to court
And drive him back to court
