To Gaius Part I

By The Seed Of Germanicus, From The Womb Of Agrippina
He Was Born In The Camp And Reared Amidst The Arms Of Rome
At The Outset A Sign That He Was Fated To Rule

His Surname Caligula, Derived From A Jest Of The Troops,
Would Forever Be Heared And Feared
For The Beast Marked This Name

His Natural Cruelty And Viciousness
He Could Not Control
Most Eager To Witness The Torture And Executions,
Of Those Who Suffered Punishment

Revelling At Night In Gluttony And Adultery
Disguised In A Wig And A Long Robe
Passionately Devoted To The Theatrical Arts
Of Dancing And Singing

Tiberius Hope Was In Vain
For His Savage Nature Could Never Be Softened
Oh, Tiberius Shrewd Old Man
Only Your Eyes Foresaw
That To Allow Gaius To Live Would Prove The Ruin Of Yourself
And Of All Men

Ave Caligula
Natricem Populo Romano
Ave Caligula
Phaethontem Orbi Terrarum Educare
