Lyrics

Hear me, illustrious Furies, mighty named
Terrific powers, for prudent counsel famed
Holy and pure, from Jove terrestrial born
And Proserpine, whom lovely locks adorn
Holy and pure, from Jove terrestrial born
And Proserpine, whom lovely locks adorn
Whose piercing sight, with vision unconfined
Surveys the deeds of all the impious kind
On Fate attendant, punishing the race
(With wrath severe) of deeds unjust and base
On Fate attendant, punishing the race
(With wrath severe) of deeds unjust and base
Dark-colour'd queens, whose glittering eyes, are bright
With dreadful, radiant, life-destroying, light
Eternal rulers, terrible and strong
To whom revenge, and tortures dire belong
Eternal rulers, terrible and strong
To whom revenge, and tortures dire belong
Fatal and horrid to the human sight
With snaky tresses wandering in the night
Either approach, and in these rites rejoice
For you, I call, with holy, suppliant voice
Either approach, and in these rites rejoice
For you, I call, with holy, suppliant voice
