[Bantam:]
Now let's to bed.
[Wilder:]
To bed so soon?
[Dorothy:]
Good night!
[Wilder:]
We leave our hearts behind us.
[Lydia:]
Most polite!
[Dorothy & Lydia:]
Alas! how soon can man forget!
Today he vow'd that he'd be true
To me-- yes, me alone-- and yet
Tonight he sighs and dies for you!
[Wilder:]
If you and I once more could meet.
[Sherwood:]
Our happiness would be complete!
[Bantam:]
Good night, your Grace, and pleasant dreams!
[All:]
Good night, your Grace, and pleasant dreams!
[Bantam:]
This way!
[Wilder:]
Is all prepared?
[Lurcher:]
All right!
[Dorothy:]
Your Grace, good night!
[Wilder:]
We meet again tonight!
[All:]
Pleasant dreams attend your slumber!
Happy fancies without number,
Guide you in the land of sleeping,
'Midst the fairies, vigil keeping.
[All with Chorus:]
Visions bright your sleep adorning,
Tend you till the light of morning,
Through the latticed window breaking
Tells you that the day is waking;
[Dor., Lyd., Wil. & Sher.:]
And through the pane
Creeps day again!
Your Grace-- good night!
[All:]
And through the pane
Creeps day again!
Your Grace-- good night!
