Don C。 I hope we may find the Preciosa among them。
Chispa。 Among the Squires��
Don C。 No�察�among the Gypsies�察�blockhead��
Chispa。 I hope we may�察�for we are giving ourselves trouble
enough on her account。 Don't you think so�拭 �However�察�there is no
catching trout without wetting one's trousers。 Yonder come the
horses。
��Exeunt。
SCENE V。 The Gypsy camp in the forest。 Night。 Gypsies
working at a forge。 Others playing cards by the firelight。
Gypsies ��at the forge sing��。
On the top of a mountain I stand��
With a crown of red gold in my hand��
Wild Moors come trooping over the lea
O how from their fury shall I flee�察�flee�察�flee��
O how from their fury shall I flee��
First Gypsy ��playing��。 Down with your John´Dorados�察�my pigeon。
Down with your John´Dorados�察�and let us make an end。
Gypsies ��at the forge sing��。
Loud sang the Spanish cavalier��
And thus his ditty ran��
God send the Gypsy lassie here��
And not the Gypsy man。
First Gypsy ��playing��。 There you are in your morocco��
Second Gypsy。 One more game。 The Alcalde's doves against the
Padre Cura's new moon。
First Gypsy。 Have at you�察�Chirelin。
Gypsies ��at the forge sing��。
At midnight�察�when the moon began
To show her silver flame��
There came to him no Gypsy man��
The Gypsy lassie came。
��Enter BELTRAN CRUZADO。��
Cruz。 Come hither�察�Murcigalleros and Rastilleros�察�leave work��
leave play�察�listen to your orders for the night。 ��Speaking to
the right。�� You will get you to the village�察�mark you�察�by the
stone cross。
Gypsies。 Ay��
Cruz。 ��to the left��。 And you�察�by the pole with the hermit's
head upon it。
Gypsies。 Ay��
Cruz。 As soon as you see the planets are out�察�in with you�察�and
be busy with the ten commandments�察�under the sly�察�and Saint
Martin asleep。 D'ye hear��
Gypsies。 Ay��
Cruz。 Keep your lanterns open�察�and�察�if you see a goblin or a
papagayo�察�take to your trampers。 Vineyards and Dancing John is
the word。 Am I comprehended��
Gypsies。 Ay� �ay��
Cruz。 Away�察�then��
��Exeunt severally。 CRUZADO walks up the stage�察�and disappears
among the trees。 Enter PRECIOSA。��
Prec。 How strangely gleams through the gigantic trees
The red light of the forge� �Wild�察�beckoning shadows
Stalk through the forest�察�ever and anon
Rising and bending with the flickering flame��
Then flitting into darkness� �So within me
Strange hopes and fears do beckon to each other��
My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being
As the light does the shadow。 Woe is me
How still it is about me�察�and how lonely��
��BARTOLOME rushes in。��
Bart。 Ho� �Preciosa��
Prec。 O Bartolome��
Thou here��
Bart。 Lo� �I am here。
Prec。 Whence comest thou��
Bart。 From the rough ridges of the wild Sierra��
From caverns in the rocks�察�from hunger�察�thirst��
And fever� �Like a wild wolf to the sheepfold。
Come I for thee�察�my lamb。
Prec。 O touch me not��
The Count of Lara's blood is on thy hands��
The Count of Lara's curse is on thy soul��
Do not come near me� �Pray�察�begone from here
Thou art in danger� �They have set a price
Upon thy head��
Bart。 Ay�察�and I've wandered long
Among the mountains�察�and for many days
Have seen no human face�察�save the rough swineherd's。
The wind and rain have been my sole companions。
I shouted to them from the rocks thy name��
And the loud echo sent it back to me��
Till I grew mad。 I could not stay from thee��
And I am here� �Betray me�察�if thou wilt。
Prec。 Betray thee�拭 �I betray thee��
Bart。 Preciosa��
I come for thee� �for thee I thus brave death��
Fly with me o'er the borders of this realm��
Fly with me��
Prec。 Speak of that no more。 I cannot。
I'm thine no longer。
Bart。 O�察�recall the time
When we were children� �how we played together��
How we grew up together�察�how we plighted
Our hearts unto each other�察�even in childhood��
Fulfil thy promise�察�for the hour has come。
I'm hunted from the kingdom�察�like a wolf��
Fulfil thy promise。
Prec。 'T was my father's promise。
Not mine。 I never gave my heart to thee��
Nor promised thee my hand��
Bart。 False tongue of woman��
And heart more false��
Prec。 Nay�察�listen unto me。
I will speak frankly。 I have never loved thee��
I cannot love thee。 This is not my fault��
It is my destiny。 Thou art a man
Restless and violent。 What wouldst thou with me��
A feeble girl�察�who have not long to live��
Whose heart is broken�拭 �Seek another wife��
Better than I�察�and fairer�察�and let not
Thy rash and headlong moods estrange her from thee。
Thou art unhappy in this hopeless passion��
I never sought thy love�察�never did aught
To make thee love me。 Yet I pity thee��
And most of all I pity thy wild heart��
That hurries thee to crimes and deeds of blood��
Beware�察�beware of that。
Bart。 For thy dear sake
I will be gentle。 Thou shalt teach me patience。
Prec。 Then take this farewell�察�and depart in peace。
Thou must not linger here。
Bart。 Come�察�come with me。
Prec。 Hark� �I hear footsteps。
Bart。 I entreat thee�察�come��
Prec。 Away� �It is in vain。
Bart。 Wilt thou not come��
Prec。 Never��
Bart。 Then woe�察�eternal woe�察�upon thee��
Thou shalt not be another's。 Thou shalt die。
��Exit。
Prec。 All holy angels keep me in this hour��
Spirit of her who bore me�察�look upon me��
Mother of God�察�the glorified�察�protect me��
Christ and the saints�察�be merciful unto me��
Yet why should I fear death�拭 �What is it to die��
To leave all disappointment�察�care�察�and sorrow��
To leave all falsehood�察�treachery�察�and unkindness��
All ignominy�察�suffering�察�and despair��
And be at rest forever� �O dull heart��
Be of good cheer� �When thou shalt cease to beat��
Then shalt thou cease to suffer and complain��
��Enter VICTORIAN and HYPOLITO behind。��
Vict。 'T is she� �Behold�察�how beautiful she stands
Under the tent´like trees��
Hyp。 A woodland nymph��
Vict。 I pray thee�察�stand aside。 Leave me。
Hyp。 Be wary。
Do not betray thyself too soon。
Vict。 ��disguising his voice��。 Hist� �Gypsy��
Prec。 ��aside�察�with emotion��。
That voice� �that voice from heaven� �O speak again��
Who is it calls��
Vict。 A friend。
Prec。 ��aside��。 'T is he� �'T is he��
I thank thee�察�Heaven�察�that thou hast heard my prayer��
And sent me this protector� �Now be strong��
Be strong�察�my heart� �I must dissemble here。
False friend or true��
Vict。 A true friend to the true��
Fear not�察�come hither。 So�察�can you tell fortunes��
Prec。 Not in the dark。 Come nearer to the fire。
Give me your hand。 It is not crossed�察�I see。
Vict。 ��putting a piece of gold into her hand��。 There is the
cross。
Prec。 Is 't silver��
Vict。 No�察�'t is gold。
Prec。 There's a fair lady at the Court�察�who loves you��
And for yourself alone。
Vict。 Fie� �the old story��
Tell me a better fortune for my money��
Not this old woman's tale��
Prec。 You are passionate��
And this same passionate humor in your blood
Has marred your fortune。 Yes�察�I see it now��
The line of life is crossed by many marks。
Shame� �shame� �O you have wronged the maid who loved you��
How could you do it��
Vict。 I never loved a maid��
For she I loved was then a maid no more。
Prec。 How know you that��
Vict。 A little bird in the air
Whispered the secret。
Prec。 There�察�take back your gold��
Your hand is cold�察�like a deceiver's hand��
There is no blessing in its charity��
Make her your wife�察�for you have been abused��
And you shall mend your fortunes�察�mending hers。
Vict。 ��aside��。 How like an angel's speaks the tongue of woman��
When pleading in another's cause her own��
That is a pretty ring upon your finger。
Pray give it me。 ��Tries to take the ring。��
Prec。 No�察�never from my hand
Shall that be taken��
Vict。 Why�察�'t is but a ring。
I'll give it back to you�察�or�察�if I keep it��
Will give you gold to buy you twenty such。
Prec。 Why would you have this ring��
Vict。 A traveller's fancy��
A whim�察�and nothing more。 I would fain keep it
As a memento of the Gypsy camp
In Guadarrama�察�and the fortune´teller
Who sent me back to wed a widowed maid。
Pray�察�let me have the ring。
Prec。 No�察�never� �never��
I will not part with it�察�even when I die��
But bid my nurse fold my pale fingers thus��
That it may not fall from them。 'T is a token
Of a beloved friend�察�who is no more。
Vict。 How�拭�dead��
Prec。 Yes�察�dead to me�察�and worse than dead。
He is estranged� �And yet I keep this ring。
I will rise with it from my grave hereafter��
To prove to him that I was never false。
Vict。 ��aside��。 Be still�察�my swelling heart� �one moment�察�still��
Why�察�'t is the folly of a love´sick girl。
Come�察�give it me�察�or I will say 't is mine��
And that you stole it。
Prec。 O�察�you will not dare
To utter such a falsehood��
Vict。 I not dare��
Look in my face�察�and say if there is aught
I have not dared�察�I would not dare for thee��
��She rushes into his arms。��
Prec。 'T is thou� �'t is thou� �Yes�察�yes �察�my heart's elected��
My dearest´dear Victorian� �my soul's heaven��
Where hast thou been so long�拭 �Why didst thou leave me��
Vict。 Ask me not now�察�my dearest Preciosa。
Let me forget we ever have been parted��
Prec。 H
