Astolfo Monologue from Life Is a Dream

From Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

male · inspirational · 51 sec

Thousand tunes be blest the day, Prince, that gives thee to our sight, Sun of Poland, whose glad light Makes this whole horizon gay, As when from the rosy fountains Of the dawn the stream-rays run, Since thou issuest like the sun From the bosom of the mountains! And though late do not defer With thy sovran light to shine; Round thy brow the laurel twine -- Deathless crown. (SIGISMUND: God guard thee, sir.) In not knowing me I o'erlook, But alone for this defect, This response that lacks respect, And due honour. Muscovy's Duke Am I, and your cousin born, Thus my equal I regard thee.
