Lucifer：
It is not meet for Dominations grave,
Powers well-disposed in state, thus to give up
So loosely their established rights; and since
The supreme Power is by His laws most bound,
To change becomes Him least. Let all yield
Who will, not one food shall I e’er retreat.
Nor hardship dire
Nor yet disaster nor anathemas
Shall me intimidate, or tame.
Here is my Fatherland
Chorus:
Am I a son
Of light, a ruler of the light, my place
I shall maintain, to no usurper bow,
Not even this Arch-usurper.
To be the first prince in some lower court
Is better than
Within the Blessed light to be the second,
The second, or even less.
To die, or to gain port
Around the dreadful cape, this is my destiny.
Doth fate decree that I must fall.
Of rank and honours shorn
Then let me fall; but fall with this my crown
Upon my brow, this scepter in my grasp,
With my own retinue of faithful troops,
And with these many thousands on my side.
Aye, thus to fall brings honour and shall shed
Unfading glory on my name.
