The Rape Of Lucretia
Momus

Tarquinius:
Oh Dr Faust
I've got a pain
Where I sit on the throne
Where an Englishman's home is his kingdom

Faust:
Mr. Tarquinius of Romford
You've got blue blood on the brain
But I know a Roman sanatorium
Where they'll cure you with a story
From two thousand five hundred years ago:
The Rape of Lucretia

Tarquinius:
Oh Dr Faust
Abroad I shall not go
The past, so they say, is a foreign country
& abroad equally

Faust:
Mr. Tarquinius of Romford
Since you stubbornly insist
I'll administer the history of democracy
Beginning when a woman was done
By the son of the king:
The Rape of Lucretia

Romulus & Remus
Orphans of the forest
Grow to their majority
Throw up their hands in horror
The democratic gesture
When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should be
Singing We who are about to die salute thee!

The Rape of Lucretia

Tarquinius:
Oh Dr Faust
I should've guessed
That a doctor named after the self-confessed lover
Of Mephistopheles would say Take two of these after meals
& mean leeches
For all your fine speeches
Your anthem is Where the beast sucks there suck I!

Faust:
Mr. Tarquinius of Romford
You may set your mind at rest
My soul's not with the devil
But the NHS
& although I am loathe to
I've taken an oath to
Cure people like you
Who think SPQR stands for
Sense Prevents the Queen's Removal

The Rape of Lucretia

Romulus & Remus
Orphans of the forest
Grow to their majority
Throw up their hands in horror
The democratic gesture
When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should be
He was singing We who are about to die salute thee!

The Rape of Lucretia

Romulus & Remus
May your example lead us
Your brotherhood & merit be our guiding force
You ushered in democracy
You understood that monarchy
Stands by incest
Falls by sexual intercourse
We'll be singing, We who are about to die salute thee!
