No. 16 - Vocal Gavotte - "Join in Pleasure."
Chorus: | Join in pleasure, dance a measure, Fondly treasure hours so bright; Prim sedately, not too stately, Coldness greatly mars delight. Lightly step with graceful bearing, Suitable precision show, Finish comes of long preparing, "Vis-avis" and "dos a dos". O fairest belle with bravest beau, Stately, but with hearts aglow, In thrall sublime but measured time Mated all elated go! O fairest belle with bravest beau, Stately, but with hearts aglow, In thrall sublime but measured time Mated all elated go! |
Stepping sprightly, laughing lightly, Noisy chatter fills the throng; Animation cloaks flirtation, Festive joys we'll still prolong. When the music din is loudest Sighing swains may dare their fate, Plead with meekest, dare the proudest In the mazy tête-à-tête. O fairest belle with bravest beau, Stately, but with hearts aglow, In thrall sublime but measured time Mated all elated go! O fairest belle with bravest beau, Stately, but with hearts aglow, In thrall sublime but measured time Mated all elated go! |
