doyly carte opera company - now for the pirates' lair! lyrics
recitative: now for the pirates’ lair!
frederic: now for the pirates’ lair! oh, joy unbounded!
oh, sweet relief! oh, rapture unexampled!
at last i may atone, in some slight measure,
for the repeated acts of theft and pillage
which, at a sense of duty’s stern dictation,
i, circ-mstance’s victim, have been guilty!
(pirate king and ruth appear at the window, armed.)
king: young frederic! (covering him with pistol)
frederic: who calls?
king: your late commander!
ruth: and i, your little ruth! (covering him with pistol)
frederic: oh, mad intruders,
how dare ye face me? know ye not, oh rash ones,
that i have doomed you to extermination? (king and ruth
hold a pistol to each ear)
king: have mercy on us! hear us, ere you slaughter!
frederic: i do not think i ought to listen to you.
yet, mercy should alloy our stern resentment,
and so i will be merciful– say on!
