One More Experimental Video: Hail Epicurus!

One more experimental video: Hail Epicurus!   Here’s the refrain:

Hail Epicurus, Guide to all Nature!
Preachers and Platonists now threaten us in vain;
Happy as gods, we can plan for the future,
Death holds no fear for those who know His name.

 


Praise to the man who enlightened the people!
Lucretius has left us His wisdom so clear;
Free now to taste of the pleasure of living,
Kings shall abhor Him, but nations revere.

Hail Epicurus, Guide to all Nature!
Preachers and Platonists now threaten us in vain;
Happy as gods, we can plan for the future,
Death holds no fear for those who know His name.

Praise to His memory, He died ever happy.
Honored and blest be His ever great name!
Long shall His words which He left to his children,
Lead us to peace while the earth lauds His fame.

Hail Epicurus, Guide to all Nature!
Preachers and Platonists now threaten us in vain.
Happy as gods, we can plan for the future,
Death holds no fear for those who know His name.

Great is His glory and endless His wisdom,
Ever to Nature the keys He will hold.
Faithful and true we will live as He watches,
Happy to walk as Epicureans of old.

Hail Epicurus, Guide to all Nature!
Preachers and Platonists now threaten us in vain.
Happy as gods, we can plan for the future,
Death holds no fear for those who know His name.

His vic’try freed us from the thunder of Heaven,
Led from the dark to the light by that Man.
Wake up the world to the wisdom He brought us,
Millions shall know Epicurus again!

Hail Epicurus, Guide to all Nature!
Preachers and Platonists now threaten us in vain.
Happy as gods, we can plan for the future,
Death holds no fear for those who know His name.
