As the roe of the desert make haste, MAIDEN OF JESHIMON DUET. 1st voice. 2d voice. 1st voice. O LIVES One love-spark in your breast, Vanity! Lenity! 2d voice. 1st voice. 2d voice. Both voices. Wormwood and gall! 1st voice. 2d voice. Both voices. Once full happy and blithe were we,- Long I loved, and loved you dear,— 1st voice. 2d voice. Can'st thou say so, true love? Will lay me low!
