7. CHORUS.
[OH! raise that drooping head!—restrain thy sorrow!]
OH! raise that drooping head!—restrain thy sorrow!
Thine evil star shall set for aye to-morrow:
With mercy must the Duke thine anguish view,
For none unmoved hear weeping beauty sue.
Thine evil star shall set for aye to-morrow:
With mercy must the Duke thine anguish view,
For none unmoved hear weeping beauty sue.
TRIO.
MAURICE, HERMAN, ELLA.
Thou, in whom alone our trust is,
Mercy! hear the mourner's prayer;
Blunt the lifted axe of Justice,
Bid the stern-one feel, and spare.
15
Though o'er the frighted world now tempests hover,
Soon will the skies their wonted calm recover:
So may to-morrow sooth thy tortured breast,
Smooth thy sad brow, and lull thy cares to rest.
