To this conquering bait
Comes with wing or with heart;
One leaves her life, the other her soul.
Turn, turn, mirror where the lark is caught.
Sparkle, diamond, fascinate, attract her.

(Giulietta appears and advances fascinated toward the diamond that
Dapertutto holds towards her.)

DAPERTUTTO (placing the ring on Giuliettas finger).


GIULIETTA.

What do you await from your servant?


DAPERTUTTO.

Good, you have divined
At seducing hearts above all others wise,
You have given me
The shade of Schlemil! I vary
My pleasures and I pray you
To get for me to-day
The reflection of Hoffman!


GIULIETTA.
