Cignus ustus cantat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Olim lacus colueram,
olim pulcher extiteram,
dum cignus ego fueram.
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
Girat, regirat garcifer;
me rogus urit fortiter;
propinat me nunc dapifer.
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
Nunc in scutella iaceo,
et volitare nequeo
dentes frendentes video:
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
