No. 10: RECIT. & SONG (Elsie)
Enter Elsie from Tower, led by Wilfred, who removes the bandage from her eyes, and exit.
Though tear and long-drawn sigh |
Ere half an hour has rung,
A widow I!
Ah, heaven, he is too young,
Too brave to die!
Ah me! Ah me!
Yet wives there be
So weary worn, I trow,
That they would scarce complain,
So that they could
In half an hour attain
To widowhood,
No matter how!
No matter how!
O weary wives
Who widowhood would win,
Rejoice, rejoice, that ye have time
To weary in.
O weary wives
Who widowhood would win,
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice,
O weary, weary wives, rejoice!
Exit Elsie as Wilfred re-enters.
