Lucifer: | |
It is not meet for Dominations grave, | |
Powers well-disposed in state, thus to give up | |
So loosely their established rights; and since | |
The supreme Power is by His laws most bound, | |
To change becomes Him least. Let all yield | |
Who will, not one food shall I e’er retreat. | |
Nor hardship dire | |
Nor yet disaster nor anathemas | |
Shall me intimidate, or tame. | |
Here is my Fatherland | |
Chorus: | |
Am I a son | |
Of light, a ruler of the light, my place | |
I shall maintain, to no usurper bow, | |
Not even this Arch-usurper. | |
To be the first prince in some lower court | |
Is better than | |
Within the Blessed light to be the second, | |
The second, or even less. | |
To die, or to gain port | |
Around the dreadful cape, this is my destiny. | |
Doth fate decree that I must fall. | |
Of rank and honours shorn | |
Then let me fall; but fall with this my crown | |
Upon my brow, this scepter in my grasp, | |
With my own retinue of faithful troops, | |
And with these many thousands on my side. | |
Aye, thus to fall brings honour and shall shed | |
Unfading glory on my name. |
