Nero sings

Peter Ustinov as Nero from 1951 film “Quo Vadis“. The musical composition’s name is “Seikilos epitaph“. Here are the lyrics he sings (thanks VeritasEtSeveritas): Oh, lambent flame Oh, force divine Oh, omnivorous power: Hail! None is there swifter to bring destruction, Yet carefree as a child Thou with wild breezes playing The old Troy shall be no more because of thee, Thou harvester that strips the soil For men to sow new crops Oh, lambent flames Oh, force divine Oh, omnivorous power Hail!
