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
