second madrigal - gian carlo menotti lyrics

one sunday afternoon the proud man in the castle
joined the crowd in the promenade by the sea
he walked slowly down the quay
leading by a silver chain a captive unicorn
the townsfolk stopped to stare at the ill*assorted pair
thinking the man insane some laughed with pity
some laughed with pity, some laughed with pity
some laughed with scorn:
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
promenade a unicorn in plain daylight
all through the city ”
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
promenade a unicorn in plain daylight
all through the city”
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
promenade a unicorn in plain daylight
all through the city ”
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
promеnade a unicorn in plain daylight
all through the city”
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
promenadе a unicorn in plain daylight
“what a scandalous sight to see a grown*up man
what a scandalous sight! what a scandalous sight!”

“if one can stroke the cat and kick the dog;
if one can pluck the peac*ck and flee the bee;
if one can ride the horse and hook the hog;
if one can tempt the mouse and swat the fly
why, why would a man both rich and
well*born raise a unicorn?”
“if one can strike the boar with the spear
and pierce the lark with an arrow;
if one can hunt the fox and the deer
and net the b*tterfly and eat the sparrow;
if one can bid the falcon fly and let the robin die;
why, why would a man both rich and
well*born raise a unicorn?”
“if one can skin the mole and crush the snake;
if one can tame the swan on the lake
and harpoon the dolphin in the sea;
if one can chain the bear and train the flea;
if one can sport with the monkey
and chatter with the magpie
why, why would a man both rich and
well*born raise a unicorn?”
