ACT III

No. 26: CHORUS
"This is our duty plain towards"

Enter Hilarion, Florian, and Cyril.

Desperate fight between the three Princes and the three Knights,
during which the Ladies on the battlements and the Soldiers on the stage
sing the following chorus:

Chorus.
This is our duty plain towards
  Our Princess all immaculate,
We ought to bless her brother's swords
  And piously ejaculate!
    Oh, Hungary!
Oh, Hungary!
  Oh, doughty sons of Hungary!
    May all success
Attend and bless
  Your warlike ironmongery!
Hilarion! Hilarion! Hilarion!

By this time, Arac, Guron, and Scynthius are on the ground, wounded
— Hilarion, Cyril and Florian stand over them.
