NEMORINO
Voglio dire ... lo stupendo
Elisir che desta amore ...

DULCAMARA
Ah! sì, sì, capisco, intendo,
Io ne son distillatore.

E fia vero?

Se ne fa
Gran consumo in questa età.

Oh fortuna! e ne vendete? ...

Ogni giorno a tutto il mondo.

NEMORINO
E qual prezzo ne volete?

Poco ... assai ... cioè ... secondo ...

Un zecchin ... null'altro ho qua ...

È la somma che ci va.

Ah! prendetelo, dottore.

Ecco il magico liquore.
