about

The final book of the Aeneid sees Turnus and Aeneas face off for the country. Aeneas wins, but promises not to destroy the Latin name or language.

The music is Movement 30 of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas (The Sailors Dance) and is taken from a recording of a performance at Bury Court, Bentley.

lyrics

All rejoice, all rejoice
We have much to celebrate
With Turnus dead at my own hands
I have brought peace to all this land

All rejoice, all rejoice
We have much to celebrate
The Trojan race can settle here
And live a life without our fear

All rejoice, all rejoice
Our long journey finally is at an end
And now we live where , once our enemies, the Latins are now our friends

All rejoice, all rejoice
All that happens must happen for the best
And now I'm home, a bed to call my own, finally, Gods, let me rest
