Dulcamara

Quartette - Dulcamara, Nemorino, Beppo, and Tomaso with Chorus

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.
