[Dorothy:] You swear to be good and true
To the maid whom you say you adore,
And tell her you love her as few
Have ever lov'd woman before.
[Lydia:] You swear to be good and true
To the maid whom you say you adore,
[Both girls:] And tell her you love her as few
Have ever lov'd woman before.
[Wilder:] I swear to be good and true
To the maid whom I fondly adore.
I never was in love before,
I never was in love before
[Wilder & Sherwood:] 'Tis only you that I adore,
[Wilder:] I never was in love before,
[Both men:] 'Tis only you that I adore.
[Sherwood:] We will devote our lives to you.
[Wilder:] And swear to be for ever true.
[Both girls:] Then swear to be good and true
To the maid whom you fondly adore,
And tell her you love her as few
Have ever lov'd woman before.
[Both men:] We will devote our lives to you
And swear to be for ever true.
[Both girls:] Oh! never, never, never, never, never,
never were such impudent deceivers!
[Dorothy:] We will defy
[Lydia:] We will defy
[Dorothy:] The men who try
[Lydia:] The men who try
[Both girls:] To make us weak believers,
Oh! never, never, never, never, never,
never were such impudent deceivers!
[Wilder:] 'Tis only you...
[Both girls:] He says it's true
[Wilder:] That I adore.
[Both girls:] He loves but you,
And swears that he is dying.
[Both men:] We will devote our lives to you,
[Lydia:] (A lover kneels a-sighing.)
[Both men:] And swear to be for ever true.
[Dorothy:] (And swears that he is dying.)
[Both men:] We will devote...
[Both girls:] We won't believe a word you say,
[Both men:] ...our lives to you
[Both girls:] We hear the same thing ev'ry day,
[Dorothy:] And yet it's sweet,
[Lydia:] And yet it's sweet,
[Dorothy:] when at your feet,
[Lydia:] when at your feet,
[Both girls:] A lover kneels a-sighing.
Oh! never, never, never, never, never,
never were such impudent deceivers!
[Wilder:] 'Tis only you...
[Both girls:] He says it's true
[Wilder:] That I adore.
[Both girls:] He loves but you,
And swears that he is dying.
[Both men:] We will devote our lives to you,
[Lydia:] (A lover kneels a-sighing.)
[Both men:] And swear to be for ever true.
[Dorothy:] (And swears that he is dying.)
[Both men:] We will devote...
[Both girls:] We won't believe a word you say,
[Both men:] our lives to you
[Both girls:] We hear the same thing ev'ry day,
[Dorothy:] He says it's true
[Lydia:] He says it's true
[Dorothy:] He loves but you,
[Lydia:] He loves but you,
[Dorothy:] He says it's true
[Lydia:] He says it's true
[All:] He loves but you,
For ever true,
For ever true.
