Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30 - 3. For the Mouse is a Creature of Great Personal Valour - Jonathan Steele, George Malcolm, Бенджамин Бриттен

For the Mouse is a creature

Of great personal valour

For this is a true case--

Cat takes female mouse

Male mouse will not depart

But stands threat’ning and daring

If you will let her go

I will engage you

As prodigious a creature as you are

For the Mouse is a creature

Of great personal valour

For the Mouse is of

An hospitable disposition
