Stephen Sondheim, Nathan Lane - The Frogs: Invocation to the Muses lyrics
[Stephen Sondheim, Nathan Lane - The Frogs: Invocation to the Muses lyrics]
Teller of dark tales
Polyhymnia
Chanter of chased and sacred hymns
Erato
Brazier of love, patron of lovers
Terpsichore
Maker of dance
Calliope
Singer of epic deeds
Urania
Searcher of starry nights
Thalia
Producer of joy and laughter
Euterpe
Weaver of music, spinner of songs
Clio
Recounter of history
Oh Muses, gather together, inspire us!
And the contest began! Well, as
You can imagine, it was thrilling! I found
Myself wavering bеtween them
First, dazzled by Shaw's freshnеss
And wisdom then
Overwhelmed by Shakespeare's sheer
Humanity until finally, the topic
Was life and death bernard jumped in first
To give us his fiery, literally
Fiery speech from
Saint Joan, which moved us all with it's
Passion and eloquence but
Then Will responded
With his psalm from Cymbeline
