Cignus Ustus Cantat lyrics

Olim lacus colueram,
olim pulcher extiteram,
dum cignus ego fueram.

(Male chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!

(Tenor)
Girat, regirat garcifer;
me rogus urit fortiter;
propinat me nunc dapifer,

(Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!

(Tenor)
Nunc in scutella iaceo,
et volitare nequeo
dentes frendentes video:

(Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
