Pour vous quelle gloire!

    Tout va trembler.

Le sang va couler,

On va s'immoler,

Triomphe, victoire.

Le bruit, le ravage,

La mort, le carnage,

    Sont nos plaisirs.

Le fureur, la rage,

Ne sont que l'image

    De nos désirs.

– Louis de Cahusac (librettist), sung by chorus of Demons, Furies and Vices in Jean-Philippe Rameau's opera, Zoroastre (1756)
