Bardelys the Magnificent

Bardelys:
Dark enchantress - - can you doubt me - - ?

Bardelys:
- - your hair is like a jealous cloud that veils the beauty of the moon -...

Bardelys:
Strange these men never notice their wives until I take a fancy to them.

Fair Enchantress:
Bardelys, you are much too clever - - how can I trust you?

Bardelys:
Fair enchantress - - can you doubt me?

Roxalanne de Lavedan:
I had only disliked you before - - now I must despise you!

Bardelys:
You know - women are like wine. When one disappoints - there is always a better!

Bardelys:
You don't know women! The less one begs of them - the more one can take. I never beg!

Bardelys:
I can win any woman I want for my wife - - but, Mon Dieu, I don't want a wife!

Bardelys:
If they catch me, I'll lose my head - - and I have too good a head to lose.

Bardelys:
I could almost believe I had been slain, Mademoiselle - - and this is Heaven - - and you are an angel.

Bardelys:
You are beautiful - - kind - - and clever. I had never hoped to find so many virtues - - in one woman -...

Bardelys:
I have never known a woman like you. I shall go - - but I shall not forget you - - [Kiss] - - and you will not forget me.

Vicomte de Lavedan:
To you, de Lesperon, I pledge my sword! Down with the King and the perfumed fops of the Court!

Vicomtesse de Lavedan:
I'm all in a twitter - - that dreadful Bardelys is coming here!

Bardelys:
Roxalanne, my beloved - unworthy wretch that I am - I have no right to your love -...

Bardelys:
While I am away from you, my dear - you may have many reasons to doubt me -...

[Kiss]

Bardelys:
But tell me again that you love me - it will give me courage - - whatever happens.

Roxalanne de Lavedan:
Can you not read your answer in my eyes?

Bardelys:
I am ready,my friends! Life has been a magnificent adventure - Death may be another!

Aide d'Bardelys:
My master, Bardelys the Magnificent, will shortly honor your house - - Make ready the best rooms - - bring forth the rarest wines - - and tell the ladies he is coming!

Dark Enchantress:
Tell him I cannot live without him any longer - I shall surely die!

Aide d'Bardelys:
He will be delighted!
