Eternally to mine!
Chorus (CAJETAN).
Perchance the calm retreat of tender youth,
In infant innocence
Her cloistered home.
Chorus (CAJETAN).
The noble.html">noble only spring from noble stem.
DON MANUEL.
Her name or fatherland.
Chorus (CAJETAN).
Guides to her being's undiscovered springs?
DON MANUEL.
Sent by her unknown mother, oft bespeaks her
And hast thou won naught else
Too much I feared to peril
What were his words? What tidings
Oft he has cheered her
Shall be revealed.
Chorus (CAJETAN).
The time is near?
DON MANUEL.
That to the arms.html">arms of kindred love once more
Thus with mysterious words the aged man
Of change disturbs the soul supremely blest:
The end of all my joys--this very dawn,
And light to other scenes--no precious hour
In secret to Messina.
Chorus (CAJETAN).
Of sacrilegious spoil! forgive, my prince,
Old age may speak in friendship's warning voice.
DON MANUEL.
In a sequestered garden's tranquil bound,
To meet my brother: trembling there she counts
In queenly state, high on the throne of fame,
For next, encompassed by your knightly train,
Her lover's form shall meet her wondering gaze!
While countless thousands on her passage wait
Shall reach my palace gates!
Chorus (CAJETAN).
We live but to obey!
DON MANUEL.
Reluctant from her arms; my every thought
To where the turbaned merchant spreads his store
And all the gathered wealth of eastern climes.
And grace her delicate feet; then for her robe
