Cesare,﻿ Cesare, a man of great depravity. He thought himself immortal ’till he had a date with gravity.

No one understands my plight, the life of musician, singing for impatient men, a terminal condition

Before Rodrigo was the Pope, he was a man of vices, and once he gained the Holy See, he raised his vices' prices

Venezia's grim Doge, a fierce and evil man, was just a trifle red of face, when I upset his plan

I sing in Italiano, you understand no word, but my Greek is non-existent, and my Turkish is absurd

Konstantiniyii I beg you, let Byzantium endure, Constantine's corpse would turn, had not Istanbul the cure

I can't believe I stand here, and sing my time I waste, but you who sit and smile at me, sincerely have no taste

The things I do to save the world, surprise me time to time, like learning how to play the lute, and making these rhyme

A minstrel's song I heard them say brings maidens by the store, but luck deserts me when I play, they hasten to the door

I will sing in praise of children, I will croon in praise of dames, I will chant in praise of mighty men, when I recall their names
