No. 26 - Solo - Amasis - "Long, long ago"
| Amasis: | Long, long ago in far off times, A law was made, a law was made That any man led forth to die Should be reprieved if there passed by A kindly maid, a kindly maid. |
| You'll find it in your dusty tome, I'm very sure, I'm very sure. The Gods gave her this power to save; Her innocence may rob the grave If she be pure, if she be pure. |
|
| And now, I pray, no childish sin My soul doth stain, my soul doth stain. Let it be mine, this pow'r of grace, That I may boldly meet his face. Nor weep again, nor weep again! |
|
| The kindly Gods who plant each spark Of vital flame, of vital flame, Blot out the terrible offence Because of one maid's innocence, His life I claim, his life I claim. |
