lyrics

Such a dreadful tale of Thrasyllus
The depths to which lust plummets a man
His desire was the hand of fair Charite
But only his undoing he did reap

Into the wild to make a hunt
Thrasyllus and Tlepolemus, brothers in arms
The former did covet his fellow's wife
And slew him under a feral beast's guise

Deprived of Tlepolemus, Charite fell crazed
Starved and destitute, lamenting great
Until Thrasyllus could no longer bide his time
And petitioned for her to be his wife

Charite, struck aghast, did retreat
In dreams came Tlepolemus and told his fate
Awake the chaste wife hatched a vengeful plan
With drugged cup to the lips of wicked man

The blood of thine eyes poured as libation
To sate the grave where belov'd Tlepolemus sleep
Dream that thou art in the hands of the mercy
Thou shalt think Tlepolemus' fate more sweet

Murderer!

Charite flew to her husband's tomb in triumph
And fell upon her sword, revenge fulfilled
Blind Thrasyllus went upon the lovers' sepulchre
Enclosed himself, and starved to death at will
