Rise of New Atlantis - Intro Lyrics

SHAWALAM YASHARA'AL

This is di 'Rise of New Atlantis '

I'm about to read an excerpt from Francis Bacon's book

Also know as William Shakespeare

Yuh done nuh say he was a man

But hear me now, and I will tell you what I know.

You shall understand that there is not under

The heavens so chaste a nation of... as this of

Ben Salem being Son of Peace

Nor so free from all pollution or foulness.

It is the virgin of the world.

I remember I have read in one of your European books,

Of an holy hermit amongst you that desired to see the Spirit of

Fornication; and there appeared to him a little foul ugly Aethiop.

But if he had desired to see the Spirit of Chastity of Bensalem,

It would have appeared to him in the

Likeness of a fair beautiful Cherubim.

For there is nothing amongst mortal men

More fair and admirable, than the chaste minds of this people.

Know therefore, that with them there are no stews,

No dissolute houses, no courtesans, nor anything of that kind.
