12 MADAM BUTTERFLY<br />
PlNKERTON<br />
Dearly beloved Consul,<br />
Allay your fears! We know<br />
Men of your age look on life with mournful eyes.<br />
No harm I reckon these wings to raise,<br />
And guide them to the tender flights of love!<br />
Whisky ?<br />
(offers him more drink)<br />
SHARPLESS<br />
Yes, mix me another.<br />
(Pinkerton fills up his own glass as well)<br />
Here's to your friends and relations at home.<br />
PINKERTON<br />
(raising his glass)<br />
-<br />
And to the day on which I'll wed t<br />
In real marriage a real American wife! ]<br />
Gouo<br />
(reappears running breathlessly up the hill)<br />
See them! they've climbed the summit of the hill!<br />
(pointing towards the path)<br />
A crowd of women hustling,<br />
Like the wind in branches rustling,<br />
Here they come bustling !<br />
(The confused and lively hubbub of many voices is heard from the path. Pinkerton and<br />
Sharpless retire to the back of the garden, watching the paih on the hill/<br />
BUTTERFLY'S VOICE<br />
There's one step more to climb.<br />
OTHER VOICES.<br />
How long you tarry<br />
One moment look,<br />
here is the summit<br />
oh look !<br />
BUTTERFLY'S VOICE<br />
Across the earth and o'er the ocean<br />
Balmy breeze and scent of Spring are blowing<br />
I am the happiest maiden,<br />
The happiest in Japan<br />
In all the world.
