12. CIGNUS USTUS CANTAT
(The Roast Swan)

Olim lacus colueram,
Once I lived on lakes,
olim pulcher extiteram,
once I looked beautiful
dum cignus ego fueram.
when I was a swan.
   (Male chorus)
Miser, miser!
Misery me!
modo niger
Now black
et ustus fortiter!
and roasting fiercely!
   (Tenor)
Girat, regirat garcifer;
The servant is turning me on the spit;
me rogus urit fortiter;
I am burning fiercely on the pyre:
propinat me nunc dapifer,
the steward now serves me up.
   (Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
Misery me!
modo niger
Now black
et ustus fortiter!
and roasting fiercely!
   (Tenor)
Nunc in scutella iaceo,
Now I lie on a plate,
et volitare nequeo
and cannot fly anymore,
dentes frendentes video:
I see bared teeth:
   (Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
Misery me!
modo niger
Now black
et ustus fortiter!
and roasting fiercely!
