Beauty,
But you hide in hearts of steel,
Hell!
Bliss of paradise
Where love meets,
Oaths, cursed spirits,
Dreams of life!
Oh chastity,
Oh purity,
Lies!


THE CHORUS.

To the devil those who weep,
etc., etc.


SCHLEMIL (entering).

I see all is joy. Congratulations, madame.


GUILIETTA.

What! Why, I've wept for you three whole days.


PITICHINACCIO.
