Mondo ladro

English Libretto or Translation:

FALSTAFF
sitting on the bench meditating. Then he shakes, gives a big punch on the bench and facing the interior of the tavern calls the Oste
Hey! Taverniere!
Return meditative
World thief. Rubald world.
Reo world!
enter the Oste
Taverniere: a glass of hot wine.
The Oste receives the order and re-enters
I, therefore, I will have lived many years, bold and right
Cavaliere, to be carried in a basket
And thrown to the channel with the bijen pannilini,
How to do with cats and blind catellini.
What if it did not float for me
This
epa pompous, Sure drowned. Bad death.
Water swells me.
Reo world. There is no more virtue.
Everything declines.
Go, old John, go,
go your way; walk
Until you die.
The true will disappear
Virility of the world.
What a bad day!
Heaven help me! I impinge myself too much.
I have gray hairs.
returns the Oste carrying on a tray a large glass of hot wine. Put the glass on the bench and return to the tavern.
Let's pour some wine into the water of the Thames!
He drinks sipping de savoring. He unbuttons his waistcoat, lies down, swallows his mouth, slowly reviving himself
Good. Ber of sweet wine and unbutton in the sun,
Sweet thing!
The good wine loses the gloomy fole
Of the despair, lights the eye and the pensier, from the lip
Salt to the cervel and there awakens the little blacksmith
Of the trills; a black cricket that vibrates within the smart man
Trill every fiber in the heart, the cheerful ethereal trill
Guizza and the joyous globe unbalances a
Trillante dementia ! And the trill invades the world! ...

Falstaff, Mrs.Quickly. Then in the background Alice, Nannetta, Meg, Mr Ford, Dr.Cajus and Fenton
