paroles de chanson The Rape of Lucretia, Op. 37: Rome is now ruled by the Etruscan upstart - Sir Peter Pears feat. English Chamber Orchestra & Benjamin Britten
Rome
is
now
ruled
by
the
Etruscan
upstart,
Tarquinius
Superbus
The
proud
king,
but
once
servant
to
the
late
monarch,
Servius
How
did
Tarquinius
reach
the
throne?
By
making
his
own
virtues
and
his
will
Bend
to
the
purpose
of
determined
evil
In
quiet
humility,
he
hid
his
pride
And
running
to
agree
with
every
faction,
divided
the
Roman
court
till
each
part
sought
him
as
an
ally
And
those
he
murdered,
he
would
mourn
as
though
a
friend
had
died
If
piety
impeded
him,
he'd
pray
with
it
If
greed,
he'd
bribe
it
And
always
he'd
pay
his
way
with
a
prodigious
Liberality
of
self-coined
obsequious
flattery
So
he
climbed
and
married
the
king's
own
daughter,
whom
he
Murdered,
then
married
her
sister,
the
self-seeking,
self-
Appointed
widow
who'd
poisoned
her
first
husband,
the
heir
Once
joined
in
holy
wedlock,
they
throttled
the
king
And
now
rule
Rome
by
force
and
gun
at
my
shelter
Whilst
their
son,
Tarquinius
Sextus,
of
whom
you
Shall
hear,
leads
Roman
youth
to
Etruscan
war
And
treats
the
proud
city
as
if
it
were
his
whore
