HE:

Go!...

SHE:
HE:

Disappear!...
...From my eyes.

SHE:
HE:

...From my sight.
Fury with the face of Heaven.

SHE:
HE:

Demon with the mask of love.


I curse...

SHE:
HE:

I shudder...
...The day that I set eyes on you.

SHE:
HE:

...At the thought I ever adored you.


How can you dare...

SHE:
HE:

Have you the insolence...


...To look at me again?

SHE:
HE:

...To remain in my presence?


Don't you remember...

SHE:
HE:

Don't you ever think of...


...your shortcomings?

SHE:
HE:

...your villainy?
Can you believe...

SHE:
HE:

Can you think...


...that I remain here just to look at you?

SHE:
HE:

...that I am here just to gaze fondly on you?


I cannot deny that you are beautiful...

SHE:
HE:

I must confess that you are pleasing...


...but of what worth is beauty...

SHE:
HE:

...but can one enjoy charm...


...if it is defaced by falsehood?

SHE:
HE:

...if it is accompanied by deceit?


I could never have imagined...

SHE:
HE:

I could never have been pursuaded...


...that heaven could become a hell.

SHE:
HE:

...that Cupid could become Lucifer.


And yet the experience!

SHE:
HE:

Yet have I found it so!


Away, vanish!

SHE:
HE:

Get hence, out of my sight!


I do not want to.

SHE:
HE:

I cannot.
I know not what holds me back.

SHE:
HE:

An unknown force roots me to the spot.


But, believe me, it is not love.

SHE:
HE:

But you may be sure it is not affection.


So what holds you?

SHE:
HE:

And what keeps you back?


I will not give you the pleasure...

SHE:
HE:

You shall not have the satisfaction...


...of hearing me say...

SHE:
HE:

...of learning from me...


...that I still love you.

SHE:
HE:

...that I cannot forget you.


Ah me, I will never say it!

SHE:
HE:

Though I die, you will never hear it!


I would love you still...

SHE:
HE:

I would still adore you...


...if only you were faithful.

SHE:
HE:

...were you but constant.


If only you were sincere...

SHE:
HE:

If only you were pure...


...as my trust!

SHE:
HE:

...as my love!
You deceive me!

SHE:
HE:

You betray me!


So go.

SHE:
HE:

So on your way, Sir.


And if I should really go?

SHE:
HE:

And if I should disappear?


What spell holds me?

SHE:
HE:

What mysterious force shackles me?


You are too great a deceiver!

SHE:
HE:

You have too much power in your eyes!


Hope deludes me...

SHE:
HE:

Beauty encourages me...


...to find you faithful.

SHE:
HE:

...not to find you faithless.


You lie, I was never such!

SHE:
HE:

You are wrong, for I was always true!


And the love of others?

SHE:
HE:

And to please some other woman?


You would have been deceived.

SHE:
HE:

And you betrayed.


I love you.

SHE:
HE:

I find you pleasing.


I adore you.

SHE:
HE:

I idolize you.
My hope.

SHE:
HE:

My love.
My life.

SHE:
HE:

My blessing.
My light.

SHE:
HE:

Breath of my life.
My goddess.

SHE:
HE:

My idol.
All other thoughts...

SHE:
HE:

All other loves...


...I renounce...

SHE:
HE:

...I banish...
...I detest.

SHE:
HE:

...I abhor.
Peace, dear eyes.

SHE:
HE:

Peace, loving mouth.


No more tears, apple of my eye!

SHE:
HE:

No more scorning, O sweet glances!


If thee alone I love...

SHE:
HE:

If this my soul adores you...


...Cupid comes back to life.

SHE:

...this be the end of all our discords.
