COMPOSITION & LYRICS
Henry Purcell
Composer
Tekst Utworu
Accurs’d rebellion reared his head,
And his proud banners vainly spread,
Back’d by all the Powers of Hell,
Pride, Ambition, Rage and Zeal.
But when Caesar from on high
Let his avenging thunder fly,
How soon the threatening monster fell
Down, down from whence it rose to Hell.
So Jove, scarce settled in his sky,
The impious sons of Earth defy,
But all their rage served only to convince
The subject world of his omnipotence.
Written by: Henry Purcell
