Arac�此 �This tight´fitting cuirass

It's made of steel��

Who fights in a cuirass��
So off�察�so off goes that cuirass。

So off goes that cuirass��
��Removing

Arac�此 �These brassets�察�truth to tell��

their brassets��
Arac�此 �These things I treat the same

Enter Hilarion�察�Florian�察�and Cyril
��Desperate fight between the three Princes
and the three
Knights�察�during which the Ladies on the
battlements and
the Soldiers on the stage sing the
following chorus����
CHORUS DURING THE FIGHT
;This is our Duty;
Chorus�此 �This is our duty plain towards
Our Princess all immaculate��
We ought to bless her brothers' swords��
And piously ejaculate��
Oh�察�Hungary��
Oh�察�Hungary��
Oh�察�doughty sons of Hungary��
May all success
Attend and bless
Your warlike ironmongery��
Hilarion� �Hilarion� �Hilarion��
��By this time�察�Arac�察�Guron�察�and
Scynthius are
on the ground�察�wounded
Hilarion�察�Cyril and
Florian stand
over them。��
Princess�此 。�Entering through gate and followed by Ladies��
Hildebrand�察�and Gama。��
Hold� �stay your hands� �we yield ourselves to you��
Ladies�察�my brothers all lie bleeding there��
Bind up their wounds but look the other way。
��Coming down�� Is this the end�拭 。�Bitterly to Lady
Blanche��
How say you�察�Lady Blanche
Can I with dignity my post resign��
And if I do�察�will you then take my place��
Blanche�此 �To answer this�察�it's meet that we consult
The great Potential Mysteries�察 �I mean
The five Subjunctive Possibilities
The May�察�the Might�察�the Would�察�the Could�察�the Should。
Can you resign�拭 �The Prince May claim you�察�if
He Might�察�you Could and if you Should�察�I Would��
Princess�此 �I thought as much� �Then to my fate I yield
So ends my cherished scheme� �Oh�察�I had hoped
To band all women with my maiden throng��
And make them all abjure tyrannic Man��
Hildebd�此 �A noble aim��
Princess�此 �You ridicule it now��
But if I carried out this glorious scheme��
At my exalted name Posterity
Would bow in gratitude��
Hildebd�此 �But pray
reflect
If you enlist all women in your cause��
And make them all abjure tyrannic Man��
The obvious question then arises�察 �How
Is this Posterity to be provided�拭�
Princess�此 �I never thought of that� �My Lady Blanche��
How do you solve the riddle��
Blanche�此 �Don't ask me
Abstract Philosophy won't answer it。
Take him he is your Shall。 Give in to Fate��
Princess�此 �And you desert me。 I alone am staunch��
Hilarion�此 �Madam�察�you placed your trust in Woman well��
Woman has failed you utterly try Man��
Give him one chance�察�it's only fair besides��
Women are far too precious�察�too divine��
To try unproven theories upon。
Experiments�察�the proverb says�察�are made
On humble subjects try our grosser clay��
And mould it as you will��
Cyril�此 �Remember�察�too
Dear Madam�察�if at any time you feel
A´weary of the Prince�察�you can return
To Castle Adamant�察�and rule your girls
As heretofore�察�you know。
Princess�此 �And shall I find
The Lady Psyche here��
Psyche�此 �If Cyril�察�ma'am��
Does not behave himself�察�I think you will。
Princess�此 �And you Melissa�察�shall I find you here��
Melissa�此 �Madam�察�however Florian turns out��
Unhesitatingly I answer�察�No��
Gama�此 �Consider this�察�my love�察�if your mama
Had looked on matters from your point of view
��I wish she had���察�why where would you have been��
Blanche�此 �There's an unbounded field of speculation��
On which I could discourse for hours��
Princess�此 �No doubt��
We will not trouble you。 Hilarion��
I have been wrong I see my error now。
Take me�察�Hilarion ;We will walk this world
Yoked in all exercise of noble end��
And so through those dark gates across the wild
That no one knows� ─ �Indeed�察�I love thee Come��
Finale
;With joy abiding;
Princess�此 �With joy abiding��
Together gliding
Through life's variety��
In sweet society��
And thus enthroning
The love I'm owning��
On this atoning
I will rely��
Chorus�此 �It were profanity
For poor humanity
To treat as vanity
The sway of Love。
In no locality
Or principality
Is our mortality
It's sway above��
Hilarion�此 �When day is fading��
With serenading
And such frivolity
Of tender quality
With scented showers
Of fairest flowers��
The happy hours
Will gaily fly��
The happy hours will gaily fly��
Chorus�此 �It were profanity
For poor humanity
To treat as vanity
The sway of Love。
In no locality
