 MIDI file (1 min. 42 seconds, sequenced by Peter Crichton).
BOTH. - 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.
CAS. - Necessity, Invention's mother,
- Compelled me to a course of feigning--
- But, left alone with one another,
- I will atone for my disdaining!
AIR
CAS. - Ah, well-beloved,
- Mine angry frown
- Is but a gown
- That serves to dress
- My gentleness!
LUIZ. - Ah, well-beloved,
- Thy cold disdain,
- It gives no pain--
- 'Tis mercy, played
- In masquerade!
- Ah, well-beloved!

Ah, well beloved! |
| Ah, well beloved! |
|
|
Ah, well beloved! |
| Mine an angry frown -- |
Thine angry frown -- |
| Is but a gown |
Is but a gown |
| That serves to dress |
That serves to dress |
| My gentleness! |
Thy gentleness! |
|
Ah, belove- |
| Ah, |
-- |
| well, Ah, well beloved, beloved! |
ed! Ah well beloved, beloved! |
