Gilbert And Sullivan The Grand Duke (Or The Statutory Duel) Act Ii Duet - Ernest And Julia ERN: If the light of love's lingering ember Has faded in gloom, You cannot neglect, O remember, A voice from the tomb! That stern supernatural diction Should act as a solemn restriction, Although by a mere legal fiction A voice from the tomb! JULIA (in affected terror): I own that that utterance chills me-- It withers my bloom! With awful emotion it thrills me-- That voice from the tomb! Oh, spectre, won't anything lay thee? Though pained to deny or gainsay thee, In this case I cannot obey thee, Thou voice from the tomb! (Dancing.) So, spectre, appalling, I bid you good-day-- Perhaps you'll be calling When passing this way. Your bogydom scorning, And all your love-lorning, I bid you good-morning, I bid you good-day. ERN. (furious): My offer recalling, Your words I obey-- Your fate is appalling, And full of dismay. To pay for this scorning I give you fair warning I'll haunt you each morning, Each night, and each day! (Repeat Ensemble, and exeunt in opposite directions.) [Re-enter the Wedding Procession dancing.] CHORUS: Now bridegroom and bride let us toast In a magnum of merry champagne-- Let us make of this moment the most, We may not be so lucky again. So drink to our sovereign host And his highly intelligent reign-- His health and his bride's let us toast In a magnum of merry champagne! |
