Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ChorusPROSTITUTES
How sad a song!,
but sadness charms.
¡How handsomely he cries!
Come, drown your sorrows in these arms.
Forget it in these eyes, upon these lips,
(Mother Goose takes by the hand to Tom)
MOTHER GOOSE
Away!
Tonight I exercise my elder right
and claim him for my prize.
