Overture -- When maiden loves, she sits and sighs -- When our gallant Norman foes -- Nay, pretty one. Is life a boon? If so, it must befall -- Here's a man of jollity, jibe -- I have a song to sing, O! -- How say you, maiden, will you wed -- So, good fellow, you are a jester? -- 'Tis done. I am a bride -- Where I thy bride? -- Night has spread her pall once more -- Oh! A private buffoon is a lighthearted loon -- Hereupon we're both agreed -- Strange adventure! -- Harl, what was that, sir? ... The river must be dragged -- A man who would woo a fair maid -- When a wooer goes a-wooing.
