Tartuffe 61

Valere(knocking on door):

Mariane, the woman I most adore,

Please open this door.

                                                                                                     Dorine(coming out of the room):

This is your wedding day,

And to your dismay,

You may not see her at all,

Or bad luck will roam the hall.

                                                                                             Damis(peeking from behind the door):

Known is your love for my sister,

And soon you will be her mister.

Soon we will be brothers,

And not just friends like others.

                                                                                                       Dorine:

This double wedding soon will be,

A delight for all to see.

First, you will walk with your sister,

And she will wait for her mister.

You will wait with a smile,

As Damis walks her down the aisle.

                                                                                               Mariane(from behind the door):

Valere wait for me at the altar.

I promise I shall not falter.

                                                                                                       Dorine:

You heard what she has to say.

Now, without further delay,

Back to your own sister,

Who wants Damis as her mister.

                                                                                                    Valere(as he walks away):

I will no longer linger.

When I see your finger,

Adorned by the beautiful ring,

My heart will sing.

                                                                                                        Dorine:

The four will soon be happy,

And singing a love melody.
