            Haven't you been rather hasty��

                  Haven't you been rash unduly��

            Am I quite the dashing sposo

                  That your fancy could depict you��

            Perhaps you think I'm only so´so��

                             ��She expresses admiration。��

            Well�察�I will not contradict you��



CHORUS。     No�察�he will not contradict you��



LISA。       Who am I to raise objection��

                  I'm a child�察�untaught and homely

            When you tell me you're perfection��

                  Tender�察�truthful�察�true�察�and comely

            That in quarrel no one's bolder��

��LUDWIG and LISA sit at table。��



Enter NOTARY TANNHAUSER。



      NOT。  Hallo�  �Surely I'm not late�拭 。�All chatter

unintelligibly in reply。��

      NOT。  But�察�dear me�察�you're all at breakfast�  �Has the

wedding taken place�拭。�All chatter unintelligibly in reply。��

      NOT。  My good girls�察�one at a time�察�I beg。  Let me

understand the situation。  As solicitor to the conspiracy to

dethrone the Grand Dukea conspiracy in which the members of

this company are deeply involvedI am invited to the marriage of

two of its members。  I present myself in due course�察�and I find��

not only that the ceremony has taken placewhich is not of the

least consequence but the wedding breakfast is half

eatenwhich is a consideration of the most serious importance。



��LUDWIG and LISA come down。��



      LUD。  But the ceremony has not taken place。  We can't get a

parson��

      NOT。  Can't get a parson�  �Why�察�how's that�拭 �They're three

a

penny��

      LUD。  Oh�察�it's the old storythe Grand Duke��

      ALL。  Ugh��

      LUD。  It seems that the little imp has selected this�察�our

wedding day�察�for a convocation of all the clergy in the town to

settle the details of his approaching marriage with the

enormously wealthy Baroness von Krakenfeldt�察�and there won't be a

parson to be had for love or money until six o'clock this

evening��

      LISA。  And as we produce our magnificent classical revival

of Troilus and Cressida to´night at seven�察�we have no alternative

but to eat our wedding breakfast before we've earned it。  So sit

down�察�and make the best of it。

      GRET。  Oh�察�I should like to pull his Grand Ducal ears for

him�察�that I should�  �He's the meanest�察�the cruellest�察�the most

spiteful little ape in Christendom��

      OLGA。  Well�察�we shall soon be freed from his tyranny。

To´morrow the Despot is to be dethroned��

      LUD。  Hush�察�rash girl�  �You know not what you say。

      OLGA。  Don't be absurd�  �We're all in itwe're all tiled��

here。

      LUD。 That has nothing to do with it。  Know ye not that in

alluding to our conspiracy without having first given and

received the secret sign�察�you are violating a fundamental

principle of our Association��



                     SONGLUDWIG。



            By the mystic regulation

            Of our dark Association��

            Ere you open conversation

                  With another kindred soul��

                  You must eat a sausage´roll� 。�Producing one。��



ALL。              You must eat a sausage´roll��



LUD。        If�察�in turn�察�he eats another��

            That's a sign that he's a brother
