The Avenged Women or The Feigned Infidelities (1775) - Page 23

God of Lovers,
It is you who makes
All our moments
Charming.

They are not coming... I am going to see her! Curse it!

In the pleasure that transports me,

I am certain that by firing,

With a pistol shot, I will pierce this door.

THE PRESIDENT.

He is going to shoot.

M. LEK.

May the devil take him.

M. RISS.

God of Lovers,
It is you, &c.

THE PRESIDENT.

We will be here for a long time.

M. LEK.

I hear, I hear our wives,

SCENE XI.

M. RISS, Madame RISS, THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE,

Madame LEK; M. LEK AND THE PRESIDENT

still in the Cabinet.

M. RISS.

Ah, how delighted I am! Good evening, good evening, Ladies.

Madame LEK.

Good evening!

M. RISS.

I counted little on the charming pleasure

Of having supper with you.

THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE.

Neither did we, certainly.
