Stravinsky: The Rake'S Progress / Act 3 / Scene 2: "I Burn! I Burn! I Freeze!"

I burn!
I burn!
I freeze!
In shame I hear my famished legions roar.
My own delay lost me my prey, and damns myself the more!
Defeated, mocked, again I sink in ice and flame to lie.
But heaven's will I'll hate, and till Eternity defy.
Your sins, my foe, before I go, give me some power to pain; To reason blind shall be your mind.
Henceforth, be you insane!
