anvil. Oh! now, listen to me; go into the hornbeam grove original: "charmille"; a walkway or hedge made of clipped trees, a classic setting for secret encounters in 18th-century gardens., and do not show yourself: you will come only when I call you. I am going to keep watch nearby. (Guillaume leaves.) I hear someone, let us retreat. It is the gallant. Everything is happening just at the right moment. (Eloy leaves.)

SCENE VIII.

JULIEN, NICOLE.

An ariette is a short, light aria or song, characteristic of French comic opera.

For lovers,
How cruel the waiting is!
Because of it,
A faithful heart
Languishes in torment.
For lovers, etc.

Does too much delicacy In 18th-century theater, "delicacy" refers to a character's refined sense of propriety or hesitation to act on their desires.
Keep my charming mistress

Does she still place some obstacle in the way of my wishes?
Without a little weakness,
What becomes of tenderness,
Can one ever hope to be happy?

For lovers, etc.

What! is it you, Julien? Go away, Eloy is watching you.

My dear Madame Nicole, I must....

You must go away.
