Now away to the wedding we go,

So summon the charioteers--

No kind of reluctance they show

To embark on their married careers.

Though Julia's emotion may flow

For the rest of her maidenly years,



ALL:

To the wedding we eagerly go,

So summon the charioteers!



Now away, etc.



(All dance off to wedding except JULIA.)



RECIT.--JULIA:



So ends my dream--so fades my vision fair!

Of hope no gleam--distraction and despair!

My cherished dream, the Ducal throne to share

That aim supreme has vanished into air!
