The Rake's Progress:Act I Scene 1: Here I stand … Since it is not by merit (Rakewell) - Eugene Conley/Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
[00:00.000] 作曲 : Igor Str...
[00:00.000] 作曲 : Igor Stravinsky
[00:00.000]Here I stand, my constitution sound, my frame
[00:08.992]not ill-favoured, my wit ready, my heart light.
[00:17.990]I play the industrious apprentice in a copybook?
[00:21.581]I submit to the drudge's yoke?
[00:24.631]I slave through a lifetime to enrich others
[00:29.736]and then be thrown away like a gnawed bone? Not I!
[00:34.333]Have not grave doctors assured us that good works
[00:38.950]are of no avail, for heaven predestines all?
[00:44.505]In my fashion, I may profess myself of their party
[00:49.429]and herewith entrust myself to Fortune.
[01:01.142]Since it is not by merit
[01:04.680]we rise or we fall,
[01:07.459]but the favour of Fortune
[01:10.167]that governs us all,
[01:18.778]why should I labour
[01:21.847]for what in the end
[01:24.418]she will give me for nothing
[01:27.830]if she be my friend?
[01:32.827]While if she be not,
[01:35.842]why, the wealth I might gain
[01:40.501]for a time by my toil
[01:42.905]would at last be in vain.
[01:54.745]Till I die then, of fever,
[01:57.059]or by lightning am struck,
[01:59.675]let me live by my wits
[02:02.223]and trust to my luck.
[02:12.010]My life lies before me,
[02:14.692]the world is so wide:
[02:17.544]come, wishes, be horses
[02:21.286]this beggar shall ride.
[02:42.645]I wish I had money!
