jessica law & marion leeper – “the rumours came” كلمات اغاني

[spoken: narrator]
picture bradamante, spending long months in charge of a garrison, the only place she could do her duty and defend her country, without the danger of having to fight her beloved ruggiero. for the first time she had no appetite for battle. day after day waiting for news – she heard about a little skirmish in paris, the hippogriff flying off to the moon, the old necromancer losing his fight with death at last – but all she wanted was news of ruggiero

then the rumours came – from friends, from enemies, on the breath of the wind, even seeping from the ground itself: rumours of ruggiero’s name with other women. it wasn’t just alcina: and after all, who could resist enchantment like that? and when he escaped from alcina only to fall in with angelica, the most beautiful woman in the world: well, all the other knights were in love with her: how could ruggiero resist?

but then, she heard his name linked with the saracen warrior marfisa: bradamante’s equal and opposite. marfisa, so wild she wouldn’t let a roof cover her head. marfisa who cared only for glory: who wore on a string at her belt the foreskins of eight lecherous kings

an escaped prisoner of war filled her in with every unwanted detail. yes, they were always in each other’s company. ruggiero had been wounded in battle – been near death’s door – and marfisa visited his sickbed every day. the whole camp was expecting their marriage, just as soon as ruggiero was recovered from his injuries

this was too much! biting her knuckles to silence her cries, bradamante sn_tched up a sword and pointed it at her own breast, if only to still her whirling thoughts
