ACT ONE
Delightful park strewn with thick thickets.
In each of the two sides is a small temple: on that a
left you read to love, on the starboard one
to regret. A vegetable stand is at the
first: two cypresses partly hide
the entry of the second.
FIRST SCENE
Fanny, Madama Rivers, Geronio and Coro.
Fanny is deeply busy at
draw sitting on the vegetable balcony.
He occasionally steals his stealth
look around, to make sure of
do not be surprised, then Madam
Rivers and Geronio followed by 'Contadini.
FANNY
People come! ah. I'm sorry
(Gets up).
Believe here to be in peace ...
Enemies to my design
Sarai, Fortune, everyone!
MADAMA RIVERS
Friends, cheerfully!
Adelson will come back ?.
Geronio
And to a lot of good people
Grate will show himself.
CHOIR
Geronio! what do you say?
His return is enough:
Ah! so happy day
When it appears, it will know!
FANNY
Of his bride in the bosom
He will fly, he will know.
(Only my cor, who moans,
Pace sperar does not know).
MADAMA RIVERS
And for us, serene
The Ciel will shine.
Ah yes, we will enjoy together
Much happiness !
GERONIO and CHORUS
Oh lucky moments,
Please be close to us!
What a meal! what a party!
What a joyful company!
The Ciel de 'ours cheers
They will resonate!
MADAMA RIVERS
Go ahead, my dear: the votes,
that brings an affection to your lips
sincere, they will be grateful to his heart,
and it will know more and more about it
to your advantage.
(Peasants go out).
FANNY
Oh! he does not need this spur,
my dear aunt; friend, and comfort of
his fellow man, father of his subjects,
he is only happy when with his hand
compassionate can use his wealth
to the rescue of poverty.
Geronio
But then the voice is true,
called him by Milord Duca uncle
at the London court, he was obliged
to keep you there for some time?
MADAMA RIVERS
It's not possible: he loves his Nelly too much.
FANNY
Lucky Nelly! oh if it were yours
equal the fate of all those that
they resemble you in sensitivity and in
perseverance!
MADAMA RIVERS
What do you say? What accents!
FANNY
Forgive ... say volea ...
MADAMA RIVERS
What, your only cure should
be that of learning your lessons
of your maestro Salvini, without point
digress you in sentences like this? light and voluptuous.
FANNY
Ah! my teacher precisely ...
MADAMA RIVERS
No more, follow me: let's go to Nelly.
(Goes out).
FANNY
(To love and to keep silent! Oh!? An insupportable punishment!).
(Goes out).
Geronio
Son matches at the end! he did not wish
better! the Colonel now came
Struley!
SECOND SCENE
We advance Struley in a hunter's suit with
rifle at the hands, and said.
STRULEY
Geronio still does not come,
Every delay is heavy!
It is sacred to me every moment.
Oh yes! We'll see!
Furious my heart,
Just wait: you'll be happy,
You will have revenge.
You feel a palpitation for the dwelling,
I feel an asp, which devours me,
Evil your screaming will end will see.
If you insensitive show yourself to cry.
If the moans overlap, I bring my pride,
The idea that moves me will be able to know.
Hey! Geronio.
Geronio
Someone could surprise you.
STRULEY
Well? he would have recognized me
a simple hunter: obliged
from childhood to leave these lands,
because it pleased the unjust father so
of Adelson, who had mine proscribed
family, I come back the second time in
Ireland without fear of being there
recognized. Well you have nothing to
tell me? It is still Nelly withdrawn in his
solitude?
Geronio
Always: during Adelson's absence
she did not leave her apartment.
STRULEY
This ungrateful nephew belongs to me:
the bonds of nature declare me
his guardian: I did it once he was kidnapped,
and she knew how to seduce her custodian
to return to Milord, taking advantage
of my absence! but now he will not run away
for the second time.
I will know how to assail her in her rooms.
Geronio
Heaven wants heaven! you would be then
victim of the servants of Milord.
STRULEY
Geronio! the cunning, which you read on your forehead,
he made me prefer to everyone else
for minister of my design. Remember,
that without my authoritative protection you
as a deserter you would be dust at this time.
My scams have introduced you into this
home as an Adelson home.
Think not to disappoint my hopes.
Geronio
From my song, o Lord ...
STRULEY
I want Nelly in my hands, and in
this same day.
Or your life, or Nelly in my power.
Goodbye.
(Goes out).
Geronio
Damn my desertion!
or he will be greeted by four balls
musket, or be villainous, e
traitor without his inclination!
(Goes out).
SCENE THIRD
Bonifacio and postman. Bonifacio from the side
opposed to the one that started Geronius.
He is met by a postman, who fortunately
the question of his name: he
He responds.
BONIFACIO

Is there a letter? spring out ...
Comme says? I have to sborzà?

Ca tu strille? He breathed!

And at the end of the month

And what good is it?

The butcher makes noise,
He shouts, and insists the calzolajo,
The matchmaker all the pawns
He wants to sell by auction:
Flee I say, there's trouble,
Did you know where you are?
And I fear that at this time
Some office is already well
To be able to imprison you?
But what indiscreet souls!
I get sugar from the priests!
And they do not know, that I'm going to miss it
Since the debt was there,
Always the mage triumphed,
Who does not pay who does not have.
What do I bring ngajola,
They gave me a camp.
Mo we saw who if water
Iniquitous creditors, and 'greedy,

To look for vuje danari,

FOURTH SCENE
Salvini and Bonifacio.
Bonifacio remains in observation, Salvini yes
concentrated advances, do some unequal steps,
then in a prominence of fright he exclaims:
SALVINI
Hopeful seductress,
Escape from this cor!
I am an unhappy victim
Of a desperate love.
Ah no! do not strike me,
Bella betrayed betrayed;
That's enough to destroy me
Of the phallus my horror!
BONIFACIO
(It commits you if it is old!
The head is really!
Pè chisto ce vo Averza ...

SALVINI

BONIFACIO
We will be satisfied if I bet

SALVINI
(I have already spent ten days,
and I dare still hold in my hand
a sheet that Adelson sent me,
why did I go to Nelly?).
BONIFACIO
What a mbrosonianno staje!
SALVINI
Eh vanne! leave me alone,
or my perpetual torment! who I see! oh Heaven!

(Flees for an avenue).

(Goes out).
SCENE FIFTH
Nelly alone.
Nelly in simple dress.
NELLY
After the dark cloud
The Ciel sperai seren,
And to my darling in sen
Enjoy calm.
But so beautiful is it
Go quick to disappear!
And at his first martyr
Return the alma!
He leaves, and then he returns the sol
Of light to sfavillar ...
And he can not return to me
The beloved object!
SCENE SESTA
Nelly and Salvini.
Salvini and said, then all as they will be
indicated.
NELLY
Here is Salvini. That sheet ...
Is it Milord, writing to me?
SALVINI
Though late, it is always a pledge
of his tenderness ...
NELLY
Oh how the heart beats me! I do not dare ...
my trembling hand ...
SALVINI
Is it my presence, o lady?
NELLY
Milord's friend?
and this is not a title,
to tolerate you close to me
even in its distance?
SALVINI
(Ah, cruel complacency!).
NELLY
On the contrary, I trust my prayer,
that I offer you, to read what he writes
my husband.
SALVINI
Groom! ah! never...
never his pen will have been more energetic
to express after some silence
the senses of his heart.
(Rending back to open the sheet, and reads).
IS' Amiable Nelly! Stanca is not the fate
to oppose 'our votes.
My uncle, who with his great heritage
will have to make sure of my immense luck,
I forget about our sworn commitment ...?.
NELLY
Oh Heaven! (He gives a shout).
SALVINI
..and to never leave the Court again
forces me to impose Lord Duca's daughter at all costs ?.
NELLY
Oh lightning, which annihilates me!
ah, all you expect! or traitor Adelson!
(Meanwhile Salvini flows quickly
the rest of the sheet).
SALVINI
But listen ... he later ...
(Nelly falls unconscious).
Ah! the oppressed the pain! ... no ... unfortunate
How much you believe you are not ... of his faith
Adelson assures you in this sheet ...
Me alone pursues fateful! Me only
Deggio ... and always suffer! ... because more beautiful,
Now that pale veil cheeks drooped,
You render it to my looks, or unequal fate?
Alti escapes ... you run
Among inhospitable deserts ... at least I could
Embrace it, and leave ... happy instant!
To the avid des? O, whom my heart lights up,
It's you, that you give an easy half ... ah! the sky
Now he would do it to me
Spirar so of my darling in sen ...
(As he rushes, and hugs Nelly,
she resumes the use of the senses).
NELLY
Ah!
SALVINI
Rinviene!
(He would like to, but can not break away from her).
NELLY
A sad life
Who recalls my senses?
SALVINI
Mia Nelly!
NELLY
Salvini! ah! It is you!
great God! what are you doing?
SALVINI
Deh stops you, stops you ...
NELLY
What do you ever try? and what is this
Crazy audacity?
SALVINI
Ah! ... I'm not ...
Reo destin ... that alma ... oh God!
NELLY
Ah! I understand my danger!
my peril!
(Scared flees from Salvini's arms).
That pallor ... that grim eyelash ...
A traitor is revealed to you.
SALVINI
Yes, you know ... a monster I'm ...
We love you ...
NELLY
Oh Ciel!
SALVINI
Nelly! pardon...
NELLY
Flee, iniquitous!
SALVINI
Ah! stop! listen!
NELLY
Ungrateful! ungrateful friend
Ungrateful! undiscerning!
SALVINI
It's a mad love,
That takes me away from reason ...
Shout in vain ... invan is opposed
He spoke an angry voice ...
And this lacerated alma
From an affection, the most furious,
He does not know, the more he does not hear
What the excess of love.
NELLY
Unhappy, in you return!
And do not think, and do not remember,
What to punish betrayals
Wake a God fulminator?
SALVINI
Yes ... I annihilate a fate ...
Thus the ardor is extinguished in me.
NELLY
(in utmost despair)
Ah! it was lacking in my pain
A far greater torment!
(From inside we hear shouting Bonifacio).
(Nelly, Salvini and Bonifacio).
BONIFACIO
Did you add site cheerfully?
Oje Nelly! Oje Maddè!
NELLY
Oh God! people come!
Ah! hide your turmoil!
Ah! hates the serious error!
SALVINI
I can not recommend it,
If you have kidnapped my heart!
(Bonifacio vien fuora).
BONIFACIO
Oh! Maddò no paraguanto
Mo dammillo, and that is gruosso,
Manna to cancel the chianto!
Coming to sciascià!
Yes Maddò! no paraguanto etc.
NELLY
Ah! he explains to you! what news?
BONIFACIO

BONIFACIO
Yessir ...

He brought chesta nova ...
Cca becino isso if found,
And I will soon assommarrò.
NELLY
But ... say ... maybe ... with the bride
He comes?
BONIFACIO
What a thing!
He is holding candy,
What makes them sputazzella!
The courier said,
What a poor son
is bolato comm'auciello,
Pee benirte to hugs.
is bolato comm'auciello,
Pè benirte ad abbraccià:
SALVINI
(Oh what anger! Oh jealousy!
My heart oppressed
It torments me,
It torments me that in myself no,
Can I find more? I do not know.
Can I find more? I do not know).
BONIFACIO
(Chisto abbotta! Arrassosà a!
he is mpazzuto and goes next,
Nce will want now, now
Nna nsagnia co mafà!).
NELLY
Ah! what a ray of hope
Balenando in sen mi va!
Right God! my constancy
You crown for pity!
(Goes out).
(Salvini comes out in despair, from the thicket of the grove
Madama Rivers, Fanny, Geronio
and Choir of Pastors; and Bonifacio? on stage).
THE FINAL
Madama Rivers, Fanny, Bonifacio,
Geronius, Chorus, and then Nelly and Adelson.
MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, GERONIO and CORO
We will wait here,
Or from the grove and comes ...
Oh what an extreme content!
Oh day of pleasure!
MADAMA RIVERS
Many pastors are already
He came to honor him:
You, the oldest you are,
Here you will greet him,
And a grateful compliment
You can do it.
MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, BONIFACIO,
GERONIO and CHORUS
Yes, a grateful compliment
You can do it.
Oh what an extreme content!
Oh day of pleasure!
FANNY
And then, while for his own good
It will give the first embraces,
Mischiarci is not convenient,
Lontan must be a star.
MADAMA RIVERS
Be quiet, impertinent!
What do you know about intercourse?
Shut up!
Shut up!
BONIFACIO
Self! cruelly innocent!
It's a dry head
Starria pè arravogliare
La Lecca co Mecca,

GERONIO and CHORUS
But here garrir is not worth ...
Let's think about what way

Think, let's think.
BONIFACIO
Shut up, I think,

GERONIO and CHORUS
Oh day of pleasure!
We will wait here,
Or from the grove and comes ...
Oh what an extreme content!
Oh day of pleasure!
Oh what an extreme content!
(Adelson arrives conducting
by Nelly's hand and followed
from other peasants and servants).
Adelson
Obliarti! abandon you!
(to Nelly)
What an outrage to a faithful core!
Ah! you were the first ardor,
That this alma has incinerated!
Pria let me know life,
What a lack of loyalty.
NELLY
Dear accents! Heaven pitiful!
You make the heart doubtful
To his serenity!
MADAMA RIVERS
Ah my dear!
Adelson
Oh! you are here!
I am held to your affection.
Geronio
Here Geronio with respect ...
FANNY
And Fanny still bows ...
GERONIO and CHORUS

(When are you talking?).
(When when?).
BONIFACIO

Your joys are yours!
GERONIO and CHORUS

Do you want to, do you think?).
Adelson

BONIFACIO
Oh! Your Excellency!
Among the Milordi Milordissimo ...
Among the owners very ...
Among the sguazzoni sguazzonissimo ...
If ... conciosiacosacchì ..
Indeed no ... though ...
As in Ciel the moon is swollen
Of very beneficial tumors ...
So we are all pregnant ...
Sissignor ... of heroic senses,
And I would like ... or rather we would like to
One hundred languages to express
That faithful internal access,
That lights us the accessible
For our microcosim ...
And so ... say ... that is ...
At my rough facondia
Deh supplite you for me.
Adelson
Ah! ah! ah! pretty indeed!
GERONIO and CHORUS
He is of our sincere love
It was the interpreter, or mister:
Receive our heart,
Pegno sol of our faith.
BONIFACIO
(I've done my own thing!
No grann'ommo songo affè!
just in love!
No grann'ommo songo affè).
Adelson
Of my care the first object
You will be each for me.
But my beloved friend?
But Salvini ... ah, say! where is?
BONIFACIO
(Oh mmalora!) Must be found,
In which forest did you ...
NELLY
He is always focused ...
FANNY
Melancholic, and abstract ...
BONIFACIO
He is portrayed
De la vava requiescola ...
Adelson
To me flights! my happy
He comes to ricolmar!
NELLY, MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, ADELSON,
BONIFACIO, GERONIO and CORO
I like the voice echoing!
It resounds every cave around!
Enjoy everyone! each party
So beautiful happy day!
And in the bosom of joy
Run every alma to jubilant!
So beautiful happy day!
SECOND ACT
The same decoration of the first act.
Only instead of the motto to regret
it is replaced by that of Imene, e
all the emblems of sorrow replaced
from those who agree with the motto
new. I instill a chain of flowers
supports the inscription attached to two trees.
They are reunited forever, above it
read the figures of Adelson and Nelly.
FIRST SCENE
Struley and Geronius.
Watching from opposite sides come forward
Struley and Geronius.
STRULEY
Eh Geronio!
Geronio
Ah! my master!
The water ? cloudy: matches ...
The hopes are over ...
STRULEY
That! Finished? and why?
Geronio
Yes, I say ... there are troubles ...
Better fia cangiar advice ...
You would run a great peril
If you wanted to stay here.
STRULEY
Go 'cowardly! go imbecile!
What's the fear? but what was it?
Geronio
Adelson is already back.
And tomorrow the dear good
It goes festive to impale.
STRULEY
There is nothing else? Well?
Geronio
Well?
Does it mean anything to you?
STRULEY
In fact I enjoy it!
The presence of the enemy
The more I turn on my daring core,
And the established shot
Already I am going to hurry up.
Geronio
Ah! if my evil rascal
It makes manifest fraud,
A storm is wooded
I will fall on my shoulders.
STRULEY
Do not fear: luck, friend
It promises you a happy life,
If your lips are secret
This arcan will not betray.
Do not fear etc.
is my enemy then returned?
Geronio
These festive signs are for you:
read to Imene: it was written before
sorry, and it was there precisely where Milord,
when you first took it out of Nelly,
he went all day to feed his
pain: now the whole court is in gala,
Nelly herself ... in short, this place
it does not breathe, that rejoices, and pleasure.
STRULEY
It will spiral in a little desolation
and breathlessness; fools!
(reading the inscription)
Gathered forever ...
Geronio
By the way: I must instruct you
an interesting novelty: it was just before
to enter the most remote grove
of this park, when some laments
when I reach my hearing they stop me,
and they make my ears tender. It was Salvini,
a certain painter, who ...
STRULEY
Come on, I know the whole story.
Geronio
It was therefore he who lay on the nude
ground exclaimed: ah Nelly! I lose you,
and forever? ah no ... everything will dare
my desperate love before seeing you
in the arms of a friend, whom I abhor.
STRULEY
Good boy! Salvini lover of Nelly?
he is therefore the prime minister
of my projects. A sheet I have molded,
and what a mess he had for deceiving Nelly,
and calm her, when I would have kidnapped her, serve her
now to make me subject Salvini.
Geronio
But how do you think ...
STRULEY
Everything is willing. a wood is ready
of fishermen: a seat car
hidden in the forest will lead us
fast to the shore.
Here the happy brigade is dusk
will enjoy the fresh walk:
You will attack fire at the low house,
which is at the back of the park, to call you back
the company: in the darkness, and the
confusion, I will know how to hurl me in time
to invade my prey.
Geronio
Ah! you frighten me!
STRULEY
Faint-hearted! come ... I see people.
(They come out of the bottom and disperse
for an avenue).
SECOND SCENE
Salvini and Adelson.
Adelson, who drags Salvini with him
bottom of an avenue.
Adelson
Come, man distorted! which insane
fury was your right hand? if in par
of the fast wind I did not rush to
holding it, it would have in your bosom
at this hour already death.
SALVINI
You are not my friend if you have me
stopped the arm ... I have to ... I want to
die ... I hate the world, I hate it
every living thing, and for me existence
it is only a huge, intolerable burden.

SALVINI
Do it in you? ah cangia accents or Milord ...

but you, who stare at me, do not
read the horror in my forehead again
of guilt?
Adelson
What a frightening delirium!

Salvini? your virtuous soul? What
pertinacious silence? there will still be de '
secretions for our tender amistad?
I'll have to give you more prove of mine
faithful attachment to deserve yours
confidence?
SALVINI
(Unmatched man! And I dare to betray you?
and I do not fall regret to your knees?).
Adelson
Come back, dear, to this breast,
Give me a sweet embrace,
Give me a trustful embrace,
If you're an enemy of yourself,
Have at least mercy on me.
SALVINI
Shut up ... oh God! of my bad
Your bontade aggravates the pondo ...
Unhappy I would not be
Without the weight of amistò.
No ... I can ... yes I would
Tell you ... ah flee! I can not ...
Adelson
What furor does it entice you? ... oh God!
What will I have to think about you?
SALVINI
Ah! let me! Ah! let me! I do not desire,

and I am ready to change your pain in joy.
SALVINI
(Will you give me Nelly?).
Adelson
(He loves Fanny).
SALVINI
Will you do this for me?
(Kneels).
Adelson

SALVINI
And I can welcome you in the chest or
flattering hope?
SCENE THIRD
Salvini and Struley.
SALVINI
Oh generous friend! you will know how to immolate
the most tender affections to the friendship's wing?
STRULEY
(presenting himself frankly)
It is not true: you are deceived,
or credulous Salvini!
SALVINI
Who speaks to me? an incognito!
who are you? what do you want?
STRULEY
Your happiness: I come to assure you.
Accept my offers, and you will know me.
SALVINI
My happiness ? you? I do not understand.
STRULEY
Do you love Nelly?
SALVINI
Oh God! who could ever instruct you?
STRULEY
I know everything ... I have the right to give it to you.
SALVINI
Nelly my bride? but who are you?
a friend of Milord? he has perhaps you
attended his generous resolution?
STRULEY
And which?
SALVINI
That to give me the hand of Nelly.
STRULEY
After making her a victim of his
seduction? after having stained
his innocence?
SALVINI
What are you saying?
STRULEY
Yes, know: he is the most evil
some men.
SALVINI
Liar!
STRULEY
Fool! he is married in London.
SALVINI
Right Heaven! married?
STRULEY
Yes, you know the character of Lord Bermond,
Adelson's uncle?
SALVINI
This one, that nothing hides from my friendship,
he has often shown me the letters
of his uncle.
STRULEY
Well, read.
(He gives him a sheet).
SALVINI
Mr. Colonel.
Indispensable family objects have
committed my authority to win the
inclination of Adelson my nephew. He
he is already a husband of Milady Arthur. The hand of
this ensures my rich effects, and
a bright place in the Court. forgive
so if he can not be his Nelly anymore,
your nephew ...?. Stars! you the Colonel
Struley? Nelly's uncle?
STRULEY
Yes, he who claiming the rights of nature,
avea at s? retired this young woman
deceived, to escape from the pitfalls
of his seducer.
SALVINI
Oh excess! oh betrayal! but how,
if he had intended to lead her tomorrow

STRULEY
All illusion, all deception!
Minister, witnesses buy, ligi
of its despotism. wise
Nelly too late of his misfortune,
it would have been given to you by Adelson
after having triumphed over his
credulity, and weakness.
SALVINI
Oh full of treachery!
STRULEY
Choose the most you like: receive
Innocent Nelly from my hand,
or made target of the libertine Milord?
SALVINI
Ah! never! fallacious friend! tiger in
docile, and courteous! ... you arrange,
sir, of my arm: what ever to do?
must waves fulminate that dislodge?
STRULEY
Remove Nelly ... it's easy: that
Nelly teco meets: if this moment
to you it appears, know how to profit,
drag it with you, you will have ready for your help.
SALVINI
To me this sheet. Believe Nelly ...
STRULEY
Tiello as well, but do not show it to her,
if not when it will be in our hands.
Her outrageous affection would make her
imprudent, and could make us escape
the most beautiful shot.
SALVINI
Do not worry ... I'll be cautious ... not me

guilty masquerade in such guise?
(Goes out).
STRULEY
My triumph is sure.

MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, ADELSON,
GERONIO and CHORUS
Come on ... let's run, what a mess!
Hence, stopping time is not!
SALVINI
(Fausto is the instant, more than advice,
More time is not about it!).
BONIFACIO
Dinto a na tana comme a rabbit
Mo Bonifacio if you need affa!
(Geronius goes out to another wary side:
the others go to the palace.
Nelly is held by Salvini).
SALVINI
It is the Ciel, which in this guise
Clear his indignation makes:
Flee from those who offend you ...
Nelly! you are betrayed ...
Believe me, my life,
Make yourself believe in love!
Ah! yield to a trust love!
NELLY
The outrages your renewals?
Who is this traitor?
SALVINI
Adelson ...
NELLY
Liar!
Respect it!
SALVINI
Never:

What deceive you,
Will know how to awaken orror.
NELLY
Infernal lip! speech...
SALVINI?

NELLY
Ah, what a cruel suspect
Gain my fear!
SALVINI
Follow me...
NELLY
Never be ...
Leave me ... seductress!
(Here it appears from the Struley fund
wrapped in a cape).
STRULEY
Nor does she yield yet this woman?
NELLY
Who I see! oh Ciel! Struley!
STRULEY
Ravvisami ...
NELLY
Inhuman!
You here?
STRULEY
From this man
No, no more will you flee ...

NELLY
Ah! barbarian Salvini!
You drag me
In the arms of an oppressor?
SALVINI
Ah no, you calm down ... it's the uncle,
What a betrayal
You fly away and your redness.
NELLY
T'inganna, he is a cruel ...
STRULEY
Of useless lawsuits
This is not the instant:
If you want to save the lover,
If you aspire to that hand,
Salvini, to his sighs
Close the streets of the cor.
NELLY
No!
Salvini ... to your plants
See me at the expiring time.:.
Remember that a friend
He loved you more than himself ...
What a detestable monster
It makes you this excess ...
Ah! the screech of virtue
It draws you from a crime:
I implore you in this conflict
My shield, and protector.
SALVINI
(Vacilla to those accents
Already all my vigor!).
STRULEY
Tired of his laments,
Of your vilt? I am ...
Follow me...

NELLY
Oh God!
SALVINI
She's missing ... wait!

NELLY
Oh accomplice of iniquity!
STRULEY

Come...
NELLY

(Cade fainted in Struley's arms,
which covers it with its mantle e
drag her away).
SALVINI
Give me my sweetheart ...
STRULEY
I will die if you follow me ...
SALVINI
Fury! where are you going? stopping you!
Geronio
Here you remain in your pain.
(Geronio, after starting Struley,
leaves Salvini and follows the traces of the first).
SALVINI
In the depths of the abyss
Follow me too I'll know.
(Exit desperately).
(Adelson returns with Fanny,
Madama Rivers and Coro).
MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, ADELSON e
CHOIR
Happy to return,
Every fear ended.
Adelson
Where are they?

MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, ADELSON e
CHOIR

Adelson
Oh God! what's up?
MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY and CORO

MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY, ADELSON e

MADAMA RIVERS, FANNY and ADELSON
Oh, day! oh barbarian
Excess! oh my Nelly.
CHOIR
Oh, day! oh barbarian
Excess! oh, unhappy day!
(Switchboard).
The curtain falls
ACT THIRD
The scene offers a dismal pavilion,
illuminated by the faint flame of a lamp
suspended in the middle.
FIRST SCENE
Adelson.
Adelsonè? in the seated and concentrated bottom: lo
some officers surround it. He has all the
decorations of a Lord Judge of the Canton.
Adelson
Let Salvini be led to me: yes
he had to make a formal judgment, if
armed with the power of the laws I had to
punish him for his criminal past,
you would not see me in the attributes here
of a tremendous ministry.
Adelson judge and offended? ah never!
other projects ... a noble revenge ... you
you know my heart and my intentions.
Go and keep quiet ... I have first introduced myself
Bonifacio.
(They all go out, only Adelson remains).
Salvini had placed in this his
home, who followed him since Rome,
all his confidence.
SECOND SCENE
Adelson and Bonifacio. Shy Boniface
it is introduced, and said.
BONIFACIO
(Vote, turn and hammer, eo pè fas,
or pè neifas ncuollo a lo zegrino
he had the strummolo from ire to grocioliò! ).
Adelson
Advanced.
BONIFACIO
Mo Signò ... and not bedite ca ccà
if he does not see us propeta? chesta me seems
the antechamber of the Palazzo de Pluto!
chella lampa accosì fuse, I'm pavilion
and color of night arrassosia! they do
nchiudere la vocca de lo stommaco!
Adelson
Without turtuous turns of studied words
think of revealing the true, wicked accomplice
of the excesses of a wicked master?
BONIFACIO
Chisto mo is no slap, what date
to my modesty! I know born, he said,
co le commesechiamma meje, aggio
magnate always roasted bread
and reputation spring, and therefore
who more quatro can not be born tunno.
Adelson
Speak, and hope for a generous one
forgiveness, if you know without veil or mystery
answer my questions.
BONIFACIO
(Eh! Malerba you canos! You are small
quant'a n'agrillo, but keeps the malice
de la vorpa! do not fuck me!).
Adelson
Tell me: did Nelly see your master?
BONIFACIO
He was not blind, he had to see
definitely.
Adelson
We start badly!
BONIFACIO
(And we were worse off!).
Adelson
She was often Nelly in conversation with
Salvini? yes, apple says that eye,
bench? try to deny your lip.
BONIFACIO
No, believe me, my own,
signò isso is the cause of all guaje
mieje, who has just got a piece of it, has it
wanted to reinforce wagons? the hands. Nelly ... ah!
poverella! that Heaven is the same as a
it, and make us stay in a car
milerdo de secole ... schitto Milordo sujo
he melted mmocca!
Adelson
And for Salvini?
BONIFACIO
Isso shifted, and
chella treated him as a friend
de Voscellenza ...
Adelson
Salvini is therefore the villain,
the perfidious seducer.
BONIFACIO
And Salvini is not there ...
poverty is the merit of compassion.
Adelson
Nelly innocent?
Salvini not guilty? ...
who then will be the offender?
BONIFACIO
I'll take it and I'll give it to you,
but prommietteme da chello
what's wrong with you?
Adelson
I promise you: talk freely.
BONIFACIO
Chillo, who has done everything done well
I'm muggy, and certainly not Milord ...
Adelson
A Lord?
BONIFACIO
No, Lordissimo.
Adelson
His name?
BONIFACIO
Adelson ...
Adelson
Myself?
BONIFACIO
Gnorsì ... Voscellenza was chillo,
that the ditch co le mane soje has been dug.
Adelson
Baldanzoso you say?
BONIFACIO
E mo mo pecchè te nfurie?
Adelson
And you dare support the blacksmith
I was of my raw misfortunes?
BONIFACIO
Voscellenza ... ca who?
Adelson
Do not replicate it! ...
BONIFACIO
There is nothing but ddì! the truth is sorry!
Stamme a felt, mo facpa'io able:
He lures the bait near the ffuoco,
And tell a chesta ... guà! It is! n'appiccià!
Not a little,
It goes well ... says! It is! not botà!
Adelson
What do you mean by that comparison?
BONIFACIO
The scacamarrone is made
Mo t'attocca, signò, de caglià.
Adelson
I? fool! can you only doubt it?
BONIFACIO
Not? there is the ommo is de meat!
Te ne vaje nzicco nzacco accossò,
The painter loosened him, and with whom?
Co na nenna light and dinner:
And bide ogge ... and pè talks tonight ...
The dimane na risa, n'occhietto ...
The car juorno no ciancio, a saletto ...
Simmo fracete! ammore if mmesca!
You right! what's up? go fishing!
Et abissum, hidden abyss!
The artifice chi pè chiè stutò?
Adelson
Ah! I was blind! I lost my mind!
Too much faith did I give you, or amisà?
BONIFACIO
(What if corca pè mme Ciciarone!
Who? balente songh'io pè speaks).
Adelson
But say ... except you were the secret?
BONIFACIO
Quaccosella ... that is ...
Adelson
Do not lie...
Speak ... soon ...
BONIFACIO
See ... the sapea ...
Adelson
And mel taci? and do not you talk? alma rea!
You will try, traitor, my wrath!
BONIFACIO
And mo faje st'auta great guapparia!
Adelson
Let this example be worth it ...
BONIFACIO

Adelson
Withdrawn.
BONIFACIO
I'm going back, you mean, you help me
vote for the carafuocchiolo,
Why did they buy me first?
Adelson
No: you can go. You are free.
However, keep silent, some do not know
as you said to me.
BONIFACIO
Me coso the retouched voice:
bonanotte in Boscellenzia ...
(And I do not miss it at Napole and do it
wool?).
(Goes out).
Adelson
Oh with what a rough, but true sense
has he cleared my doubts?
here is Salvini! miserable! Oh
how much peno that aspect languishing!
Adelson! courage! everything is fast
prepared: he believes you his judge and yes
perform your design so.
SCENE THIRD
Nelly, Salvini, Adelson and Coro.
Salvini enters: the servants precede him
of Adelson he officers, who surround
Milord.
SALVINI
Where am I? what a feral scene!
My Lord! because to judge me
would you choose such a bad place?
Adelson
Accused! no ill-timed
question: see me in yours
judge: focus, and answer.
SALVINI
Yes, I am guilty ... I warn you in the
question, and I answer:
a blind love, a love,
that more limits did not know,
took possession of my spirit ...
I wanted to cut it off with it
loss of my life,
you have disarmed my hand ...
I wanted to show you
the terrible arcane,
you always have me
arrested on the lip.
Adelson
(Ah Bonifacio! You told me the truth!).
And this criminal love had to
make you the killer again
of the adored object?
SALVINI
I! ah! and could I have been able to?
that deadly blow was destined for others.
Adelson
To whom?
SALVINI
Behind her barbarous kidnapper ...
Adelson
Scoundrel! and what other kidnapper,
what Salvini?
SALVINI
Read.
(He gives him the paper, which he gave Struley).
Adelson
Al Colonnello Struley:
oh enemy to me always fatal!
and who gives you this sheet?
SALVINI
He himself! ah! poss'io
remember that terrible moment?
here is the unfortunate Nelly expiring
in the power of his kidnapper ... too much
late disengaged I run,
I rush on him ...
he downloads me a gun,
and the case misleads the blow ...
I earn the dagger furiously
of the Geronian example ...
I come to the wicked Struley ...
the vibro a shot ... but ... oh God!
shout then Struley ...:
miserable! you killed Nelly !?
... to these terrible accents,
that still resonate in my ear,
I no longer know myself ...
frantic I turn in search of death ...
you surprised me ... invested ...
ah Milord!
it is not useful to remember the rest ...
Adelson
You wretch! leave like this
in the arms of my ruthless persecutor
the most precious deposit that I gave to you
object to which mine was attached
existence? the long experience of mine
character, the knowledge of mine
feelings should not preserve yours
heart from seduction? it does not have it
shouted against this infernal
plot! it goes'! you are a killer! I'll you
I will abandon myself to the destiny that awaits you,
you will serve to frighten 'traitors your peers ...
SALVINI
Ebben because it breathes
The offender Salvini anchored with sharp iron
Weapon the right, the sen open and rip open
A cor that betrayed you: at least a term
To the immense my duol the friend get ready ...
Adelson
The friend! ah! the more it is not ... you would kill it!
But he trembles; my just revenge
Ingenious becomes: in your eyes
The victim will offer, that you killed ...
SALVINI
Ah! what a listening! great God!
Adelson
Knowing you're enough
That's in my being the beloved naked ...
SALVINI
Ah stop!
Let your sentence be cruel ... atrocious
More than torture is the barbarian martyr
What for me to prepare ... I'll see that edge again
What closed my man? ruthless hand!
Ah! this only idea of horror covre me!
M'ghghiaccia the cor! do you see me already? wrathful
The shadow of her furious hurry!
That pugnal who will do his revenge!
You will fall ... but still extinct,
Shadow beautiful I t'amer ?.
I loved each other to love you
Ventured and without peace!
And my voracious flame
I will hold up in the grave, yes
I will hold up in the grave!
Adelson
(A contumacious affection
Where ever he dragged him!).
CHOIR
(It was all Amor capable,
If reason left him).
(At the mention of Adelson the curtains open.) Nelly
is in the middle of Fanny and Rivers and a 'villani, that the
crown with flowers. Switchboard. Salvini,
surprised at the top, and not believing what
see, he exclaims)
SALVINI
Ah, perform the work of your benefices!
teach me at least how ...
NELLY
Struley had received in his cloak,
where wounded me, the blow,
which you confused to him hurled ...
this has caused your error.
ADELSON
And he saved my Nelly from the wild.
After your warning, spreading everywhere
, my servants surprised him,
while he was hiding in a nearby cave:
they took his prey from him,
and united him with his accomplice Geronius,
who kept him under pain, who awaited him.
SALVINI
Oh prodigy!
ADELSON
I was supposed to punish a delinquent friend
and Nelly in spite of himself has served
my generous revenge.
SCENE ULTIMA

Adelson, Bonifacio and Coro.
BONIFACIO
Addò sta? what is it, is it
that the pimpinella, which Heaven has wished, will be consoled
to all the disconsolate?
or Signorina, my beautiful one, as it is
nowhere near empty:
I am galantommo ve pè dì how much trouble
fought pè make her put judicio.
SALVINI
It's true, but his advice
was in vain for me.
ADELSON
Is repentance true to you now?
SALVINI
Ah Milord! do you doubt it?
ADELSON
Well, come into my arms,
go back to your homeland: a serious
assignment, that will establish a life for you
quiet, it will serve to show you that your
offenses are already erased from my heart.
BONIFACIO
Who can hold no core accented granne
