Detti, e molte signore mascherate da Zingare, che entrano dalla destra
ZINGARE
Noi siamo zingarelle
Venute da lontano;
D'ognuno sulla mano
Leggiamo l'avvenir.
Se consultiam le stelle
Null'avvi a noi d'oscuro,
E i casi del futuro
Possiamo altrui predir.
I.
Vediamo! Voi, signora,
Prendono la mano di Flora e l'osservano
Rivali alquante avete.
Fanno lo stesso al Marchese
II.
Marchese, voi non siete
Model di fedeltà.
FLORA
al Marchese
Fate il galante ancora?
Ben, vo' me la paghiate
MARCHESE
a Flora
Che dianci vi pensate?
L'accusa è falsità.
FLORA
La volpe lascia il pelo,
Non abbandona il vizio
Marchese mio, giudizio
O vi farò pentir.
TUTTI
Su via, si stenda un velo
Sui fatti del passato;
Già quel ch'è stato è stato,
Badate/Badiamo all'avvenir.
Flora ed il Marchese si stringono la mano
A crowd of guests wearing masks and gypsy costumes enter right.
GYPSY GIRLS
We are gypsies,
Come from a distant land;
We can read the future
In anybody's hand.
We're in touch with the stars;
Nothing is hidden from us,
All the happenings of the future
We can reveal to you.
A GROUP OF GYPSIES
Let's see;
looking at Flora's hand
You, Madame, Have several rivals.
ANOTHER GROUP OF GYPSIES
looking at the Marquis's hand
You, Marquis,
Are no model of faithfulness.
FLORA
to the Marquis
Are you at your games again?
Believe me, I shall make you pay!
MARQUIS
to Flora
What the deuce do you mean?
It's an utter falsehood!
FLORA
The fox may change his skin,
But he doesn't forget his tricks.
My dear Marquis, you be careful,
Or you may be sorry for it.
ALL
Come along, let's draw a veil
Over what is past and gone;
What is done can't be undone,
Let us welcome what's to come.
Flora and the Marquis press each other's hands.
