Opéra Comique.

SCENE VII.

DORVAL alone.

ARIETTA.

I am going to see you, charming Lise,
My eyes are going to meet yours;
Let us fear that their lively surprise

Might harm

Our tender bonds.
Under a feigned indifference
Let us hide, if possible, our ardor
Too animated by hope,
Let us take care not to betray our hearts.
I am going to see you, charming Lise,
My eyes are going to meet yours;
Let us fear that their lively surprise

Might harm

Our tender bonds.

(He expresses here, while withdrawing, all the pleasure he feels in seeing her.)

SCENE VIII.

LISE, MARGARITA, DORVAL.

LISE.

Ah! My nanny! Ah! How beautiful the streets are!

MARGARITA.

Yes, this street here is beautiful.

LISE.

I breathe in an air here that is purer, fresher, sweeter.
Ah...

MARGARITA.

What?
