theatre of tragedy – hollow-hearted, heart-departed lyrics
“filthy harlots – the lord’s grape!
with lore ornamented entreating;
hollow-hearted, heart-departed –
yet thou reapest the blooming rose –
when ’tis the weed which is to be swath’d”
“and me in the yesterday bind?!”
“hah! – for thee even a hound holdeth the throne.
unwanted child of mother! – plague of plagues!
father of leprous children.
i wield ye to stint this brawl!
night is the ford – yet harken! – do not thwart!
desirest thou to do it withal,
i shall cause thy body by one head too short!
sayest ye nay to my boon,
then wilt thou from bloodsheld swoon!”
“err me not! – must ye bethink my foolhardiness!
be vanished! – be hanished! –
if ye deemest me not wroth.
my hand hieth to unsheathe the sword
lest thou dost totter –
whid along! – wherefore irk my haughtiness?”
“no man… no man at all!
be it lord of beggar
bereaveth my dignity!”
“loom my darling sun –
bear the scarlet colour!”
“wherefore bereave
the kine of the sward?
wherefore holdest thou for
me such a quailing scowl?”
“i do, in the blooming flower, pleasure find!”
“innocence is reserved for the meek:
of naught is my grasp ne’er to be!”
