Recit. and Madrigal
(Blush-of-Morning, Dancing Sunbeam, Yussuf & a Royal Guard)
| Blush. |
Sunbeam. |
Yussuf. |
| |
|
|
|
What does it mean? |
|
|
|
| |
What does it mean? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
What does it mean? |
|
What does it mean? |
|
What does it mean? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon what hidden trap |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have I now stumbled? |
| |
|
|
|
One moment Queen.
Then comes a thunder- |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
clap. |
|
|
|
| |
And I lie humbled! |
|
And I lie humbled! |
|
And I lie humbled! |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
So surely swings the |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pendulum of Fate |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
That maketh joy and |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sorrow alternate! |
| All. |
| |
Joy and sorrow alternate |
| |
|
Ev'ry hour that passeth by; |
| |
Till tomorrow fickle Fate |
| |
|
May ordain you laugh or cry! |
| |
Till tomorrow fickle Fate |
| |
|
May ordain, ordain you laugh or cry! |
| |
Joy and sorrow alternate |
| |
|
Ev'ry hour that passeth by; |
| |
Till tomorrow fickle Fate |
| |
|
May ordain you laugh or cry! |
| |
Till tomorrow fickle Fate |
| |
|
May ordain, ordain you laugh or cry! |
| |
So the clock that strikes the time
Rings at first a merry chime; |
| Blush. |
Sunbeam. |
Yussuf. |
Guard. |
| |
Then to mock |
|
Then to mock the |
|
Then to mock the |

the marriage |
|
|

|
|

|
|
the mar- |
| |
|

Tolls a melancholy |
|
Tolls a melancholy |
|
|
riage bell, Tolls a |
| |
|
melancholy knell! |
|

| All. |
| |
Or the melancholy gong |
| |
|
Tolls a solitary "Dong," |
| |
|
|
a dong, dong, dong! |
| |
Then you hear the joy-bell ring |
| |
|
Ring-a-ding-a-dong-a-dong, |
| |
So the clock doth indicate |
| Blush. |
Sunbeam. |
Yussuf. |
Guard. |
