Duet— Maia and Diomed
Maia:
The answer in your eyes
I dare not look and read!
If in your heart no pity lies,
Then hope is dead indeed!
But mercy calls to you
To hear and heed my cry,
For she who loves can pity too —
And you have loved as I.
Diomed:
Forgive! Forgive! And let my dear one live!
I ask for her your pardon full and free!
In mercy's name
Her life from you I claim;
Forgive! Forgive! And spare my love to me.

I ask not your intent —
What fate may be my own,
But this I ask — that punishment

May fall on me alone;
Let sweet compassion stir
Your heart to noble deeds,
And grant forgiveness full to her
Who broken hearted pleads.
Maia:
Forgive! Forgive! And let my dear one live!
I ask for him your pardon full and free!
In mercy's name
His life from you I claim;
Forgive! Forgive! And spare my love to me.
Chorus:
Sopranos/TenorBass
Forgive! Forgive!
And let her dear one live
Forgive! Forgive!
And let him live.
We ask for him your pardon full and free,
ChorusMaiaDiomed
Ah!
In mercy's name
His life from you we claim
Ah!
Forgive!
Forgive! and let
her
happy
be.

In mercy's name
His life from you I claim;



Forgive! Forgive!
And spare my love to
me.

In mercy's name
Her life from you I claim;

Forgive!
Forgive! And spare
my love,
my love to
me.
