THE FRICASSEE.

DUET.—Miss Frances and Sally.

From dear Switzerland, our home,
In search of wealth we roam,
Then frown not when we come,
Two orphan Savoyards, to cheer you, singing.
Blithe hearts and light heels,
Who more content can be;
Our mirth your care steals,
In the merry fricassee.—
(Dance.)
Oh! do not bid us roam,
To wander still our doom,
For all of us there's room,
Then list us Savoyards—our sweet songs singing.
With blithe heels and light hearts,
Your gold you'll render free,
As our mirth still mirth imparts,
In the merry fricassee.—
(Dance.)
