Astolfo Monologue from Life Is a Dream

From Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

male · romantic · 56 sec

Struck at once with admiration At thy starry eyes outshining, Mingle many a salutation, Drums and trumpet-notes combining, Founts and birds in alternation; Wondering here to see thee pass, Music in grand chorus gathers All her notes from grove and grass: Here are trumpets formed of feathers, There are birds that breathe in brass. All salute thee, fair Senora, Ordnance as their Queen proclaim thee, Beauteous birds as their Aurora, As their Pallas trumpets name thee, And the sweet flowers as their Flora; For Aurora sure thou art, Bright as day that conquers night -- Thine is Flora's peaceful part, Thou art Pallas in thy might, And as Queen thou rul'st my heart.
