My child, I join in these congratulations:
Heed not the tear that dims this aged eye!
Old memories crowd around me. Though I sorrow,
'Tis for myself, Aline, and not for thee!
Enter Alexis, preceded by Chorus of Men.
Bertha Lewis as Lady Sangazure
c 1925
Chorus.
With heart and with voice
Let us welcome this mating;
To the maid of his choice,
With a heart palpitating,
Comes Alexis, the brave!
With heart and with voice
Let us welcome this mating;
To the maid of his choice,
To the maid of his choice,
Comes the brave Alexis,
The brave Alexis,
Alexis the brave.
