Lucretius was a Roman Poet from the first century BC.  The discovery of his large poem, De Rerum Natura
was instrumental in the beginnings of the Renaissance.  These four songs are settings of portions of that poem which has been translated into English by A.E. Stallings:
1. You Might, As you commence philosophy
2. It is vital in what order I array the different letters
3.  Sun and moon and sea and all the rest
4. Time changes the nature of the whole world
