jessica law & marion leeper - "alcina's island" كلمات الأغنية
[spoken: narrator]
a green island, like an emerald burning in the ocean. on the shore, a woman fishing. the net was made from strands of her own shining hair; and fish jumped in of their own accord
ruggiero flew over a land of meadows, orange groves, and shady forests where the nightingale shelters. as soon as he was close enough, he leapt to the ground: he dragged his steed to earth, and tethered her to a nearby myrtle bush, while he stopped to drink from a pool of clear water. travelling a thousand miles in full armour gives you a thirst
but then the myrtle bush cleared its throat. “excuse me: please untie your strange beast. once i was a knight, until i was changed into this bush by the enchantress alcina: i don’t deserve to become a tethering post as well.” the myrtle bush urged the astonished ruggiero not to fall into the enchantress’ snares. ruggiero promised to resist temptation: but as he walked along the shore, there was alcina, smiling, holding out her hand. “come, ruggiero: let me show you my island. and join me for dinner – look, fish pie.”
how could ruggiero withstand enchantment like this? he settled into a life of luxury on the island. so much fish pie that he almost couldn’t fit into his armour anymore. but one day, as he lay back idly watching the clouds, a turtle dove, flying overhead, dropped something at his feet: bradamante’s magic ring
the sight of it was enough to wake him from the spell: with the image of his true love in his head, he saw alcina with different eyes; gaps in her t__th; a bald patch on her head, and those br__sts like firm ripe apples seemed to him now like wrinkled rotten fruit. he rushed from her perfumed pavilion, gasping for breath, while alcina, heart_broken, tried to decide whether to turn him to a pine tree, a pebble or a polecat. but it was too late, ruggiero was gone
