What is that madman shrieking?<br />

In everlasting torment<br />
May your wicked soul perish?<br />

away. Pinkerton loses patience, rises and shouts to the Bonze:)<br />
PlNKERTON<br />
(out of patience)<br />
Be silent now, d'you hear me?<br />
(At the sound of Pinkerton's voice, the Bonze stops short in amazement, then with z<br />
sudden resolve he invites friends and relations to come away)<br />
THE BONZE<br />
Come with me, all. We'll leave her.<br />
(to <strong>Butterfly</strong>)<br />
