No. 9 - Concerted Piece
| Ravannes: | The blissful pleasure I profess Of such a meeting overjoys me. I have not language to express The joy I feel, and that annoys me; Though with blessings beset, As I roam the world through, I can never forget My first meeting with you. |
| Erminie: | I beg, I beg that you'll not now, Some other day when more collected, You may decline, protest and vow With metaphors you've recollected. Though with worries beset, It is equally true, I shall never forget My first meeting with you |
| All: | Though with blessings beset, It is equally true, I/He shall/will never forget My/His first meeting with you. Though with blessings beset, It is equally true, I/She shall/will never forget My/Her first meeting with you. |
| Cadeaux (slightly intoxicated): | |
| Hallo! what's the row, what's the rumpus? | |
| Ravannes: | Silence! |
| Cadeaux: | Stow it, don't you thump us! |
| Ravannes: | We've a bold game on tonight! Be mum, be steady! |
| Cadeaux: | Fly, all right. |
| Ravannes: | Since hospitably you extend Your favours I'll present my friend, My friend the Baron, you will find him quite an oddity; Strange in his habits, in his manner and address, Priz'd as a curio, a saleable commodity, Erratic and original you see; Yes, yes, My friend the Baron's quite a feast Of phrase and customs of the East; Acquir'd the Arab tribes among; Expressive, what one might call strong. |
| All: | His friend the Baron's quite a feast Of phrase and customs of the East; Acquir'd the Arab tribes among; Expressive, what one might call strong. |
| Cadeaux: | I'm proud to meet yer, how d'ye do, Old Cockalorum, how are you? |
| Chevalier: | Cockalorum, Cockalorum. |
| Cerise: | Somewhat vulgar, scarce decorum. |
