Tomaso:
Such a change, was never known - why, how beautiful you’ve grown!
Your mother if she saw you now would tremble.
Beppo:
His mother, har, har, har! how the words upon me jar;
But soft, I am observed -- I must dissemble!
Nemorino:
When my face the maidens see, I shall happy, happy be!
Of my wounds Adina soon will be a caulker.
Dulcamara:
Well, a phase of woman’s mission is to act as a physician -
The sentiments of Dulcamary Walker!
Men:
Tol de dol de dol, the sentiments of Dulcamary Walker!
Beppo:
I think a time has come, when no more I shall be dumb;
But soft - on second thoughts I will postpone it.
Tomaso:
By this time, I daresay, I’m as beautiful as they,
If Nemorino there would only own it.
Nemorino:
Adina will be mine, and together we will shine -
She'll take my arm and be a loving talker!
Dulcamara:
In woman there’s a charm when she’s taking off an arm -
The sentiments of Dulcamary Walker!
Men:
Tol de dol de dol, etc.
