No. 4a - Recit.
Landlord: | Your worship's breakfast waits — |
Lionel: | Ladies, you'll join me in it. Landlord, two extra plates, We'll follow in a minute. |
No. 5 - Quartette - "But oh, beware."
Mirabeau: | But, oh, beware the fierce Sir Miles! Little he'll care for tears or smiles, Or lover's protestations. |
Lionel: | Chere Mad'moiselle, when all is said, He can't compel a girl to wed — We'll wear him down by patience. |
Quartet: | We'll wear him down by patience. For love is love and Cupid's King And like the bird that trills in spring, We'll chance the wind and weather. While she is thine/mine and thou/I are/am hers It matters little what occurs So long as we're/they're together, together. |
Alice: | But, oh, 'tis hard to wear him down, One can't ignore a father's frown; One tires of bread and water. |
Lionel: | Have patience, love, 'tis not for life; Remember you will be my wife — Forget you are his daughter. |
Quartet: | Forget you are his daughter. For love is love and Cupid's King And like the bird that trills in spring, We'll chance the wind and weather. While she is thine/mine and thou/I are/am hers It matters little what occurs So long as we're/they're together, together. |
