Song—Arline.
Come with the gipsy bride
And repair
to the fair,
Where the mazy dance
Will the hours entrance;
Where souls as light preside
Life can give nothing beyond,
One heart you know to be fond,!
Wealth with its hoardes cannot buy
The peace that content cannot supply,
Rank in its halls may not find
The calm of a happy mind—
So repair—to the fair,
And they may be met with there.
Love is the first thing to clasp,
But if he escapes your grasp
Friendship will then be at hand,
In the young rogue's place to stand
Hope, too, will be nothing 10th
To point the way to both,
So repair—to the fair,
And they all may be met with there

Cho,

In the gipsy's life you may read
The life that all may like to lead.

[Expunt Arline and Gipsies.
