The Falcon

In this wild place,
In this hermitage,
I would remain!
What! In these forests
I would remain!
And for such a life
I would abandon
Madam Clitie;
Oh, no, no, never.
But but...
This boy pleases me,
It suits me well;
What is in his soul
Is painted in his eyes;
And if he were to take a wife,
This joyful boy
Would fulfill his vows.

SCENE XI.

GUILLAUME, ELEONORE.

GUILLAUME.

She is in a mood, I do not know what is wrong with her. Ah, Mademoiselle Eleonore, answer me something, then. My Lord might return, and I would not have the time. I believe they are calling again.

DUET.

ELEONORE.
I am frank,
I am frank:
My frank soul
Is my guarantee;
Peace, hush,
What is your goal?
Your goal,
The goal that engages you
To speak to me?
Marriage,
Marriage.

GUILLAUME.
I am frank;
May your white hand
Be your guarantee,
Be your guarantee;
Peace, hush,
What is my goal?
My goal?
The goal that engages me?
Marriage,
Marriage,
Marriage.
