Lyrics
A Vision Fair and Fortunate
This dream is all amiss interpreted;
It was a vision fair and fortunate:
Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics and cognizance.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.
Free from the bondage you are in, Messala:
The conquerors can but make a fire of him;
For Brutus only overcame himself,
And no man else hath honour by his death.
...no man else hath honour by his death.
Even for that our love of old, I prithee,
Hold thou my sword-hilts, whilst I run on it.
