No. 10 - Song - Violetta - "Messenger-Number and Dance"
| Violetta: | Nobles should write with discretion When there's a message to send; Notes are a precious possession, Sometimes when carelessly penned. Messengers often will tarry, Just long enough, it is said; Little love letters they carry, Seldom delivered unread. Think of the scandal I could reveal! |
| Chorus: | Don't! no! |
| Violetta: | I won't, no! I could make royalty bow and kneel! |
| Chorus: | Dear no! |
| Violetta: | No fear, no! Oh, the secrets I know, Through the notes to and fro, |
| Chorus: | Oh! oh! oh! oh! |
| Violetta: | Message of love,
love, fervent love I'm called to carry. Sweet billet doux, such silly news, Offers to marry. Outside the wall, I read them all, I could recite them; Thin envelopes reveal their hopes, I'm called whenever nobles write them. |
| Chorus: | Thin envelopes reveal their hopes, He's called whenever nobles write them. |
