No. 4: Minestra and Chorus of Girls
 |
| GIRLS. | ||
| Only think, a Duke and Duchess! | ||
| Oh, but we are lucky lasses! Hie we to our looking-glasses |
||
| For a few artistic touches. | ||
| Let us decorate our tresses | ||
| Ere the grand procession passes, And receive the upper classes |
||
| In our most becoming dresses! | ||
| MINESTRA. | ||
| Go and wash your pretty faces, Dress in ribbons and in laces, Or expect from both their Graces |
||
| A well-merited rebuke; | ||
| And your hair I pray you
frizz it — For it isn’t often — is it?— That you’re favoured with a visit |
||
| From a Duchess and a Duke! | ||
| For it isn’t often — is
it?— That you’re favoured with a visit |
||
| From a Duchess and a Duke! | ||
| ALL. | ||
| Yes, we’ll wash our pretty faces, Dress in ribbons and in laces, For it isn’t often — is it? — That we’re favoured with a visit |
||
| From a Duke and a Duchess, From a Duchess and a Duke! |
||
| For it isn’t often — is
it? — That we’re favoured with a visit |
||
| From a Duke and a Duchess, From a Duchess and a Duke! |
||
| For it isn’t often — is
it? — That we’re favoured with a visit |
||
| From a Duke and a Duchess, From a Duchess and a Duke! |
||
Exeunt Girls — all but MINESTRA.
