No. 4: DUET (Casilda & Luiz)
"O rapture... Ah, well beloved"
| Casilda & Luiz: |
O rapture, when alone together
Two loving hearts and those that bear them
May join in temporary tether,
Though Fate apart should rudely tear them.
|
| Casilda. |
Necessity, Invention's mother,
Compelled me to a course of feigning —
But, left alone with one another,
I will atone for my disdaining!
Ah, well-beloved,
Mine angry frown
Is but a gown
That serves to dress
My gentleness! |
|
Casilda (Rowena Ronald) & Luiz (John Dean), 1932

|
| Luiz. |
Ah, well-beloved,
Thy cold disdain,
It gives no pain —
'Tis mercy, played
In masquerade! |
| Casilda. |
Luiz. |
| |
Ah, well beloved! |
| Ah, well beloved! |
|
| |
Ah, well beloved! |
| Ah, well beloved! |
|
| |
Ah, well beloved! |
Mine angry frown
Is but a gown
That serves to dress
My gentleness! |
Thine angry frown
Is but a gown
That serves to dress
Thy gentleness! |
| Ah, well, |
Ah, beloved! |
| Ah, well beloved, beloved! |
Ah, well beloved, beloved! |
