FRED Oh, false one, you have deceived me! RUTH I have deceived you? FRED Yes, deceived me! [Duet between FRED and RUTH begins] FRED You told me you were fair as gold, RUTH —And, master, am I not so? FRED And now I see you're plain and old. RUTH I'm sure I'm not a jot so! FRED Upon my innocence you've played! RUTH I'm not the one to plot so! FRED Your face is lined, your hair is grey! RUTH It gradually got so! FRED Faithless woman, to deceive me, I who trusted so! RUTH Master, master, do not leave me! Hear me ere you go! FRED Faithless woman! RUTH Master, master! FRED Faithless woman! RUTH Master, master! FRED (top), RUTH (bottom) Faithless woman, to deceive me, I who trusted so! Master, master, do not leave me. Hear me ere you go! Faithless woman, to deceive me, I who trusted so! Master, master, do not leave me. Hear me ere you go! RUTH (solo) My love without reflecting, oh do not be rejecting. Take a maiden tender—her affection raw and green! At very highest rating, has been accumulating Summers seventeen—summers seventeen. FRED (top), RUTH (bottom) Yes, your former master saves you from disaster. Don't, beloved master, crush me with disaster. Your love would be uncomfortably fervid, it is clear. What is such a dower to the dower I have here? If, as you are stating, it's been accumulating My love unabating has been accumulating Forty-seven years! Forty-seven years! FRED Faithless woman, to deceive me, I who trusted so! FRED (top), RUTH (bottom) Faithless woman, to deceive me, I who trusted so! Master, master, do not leave me. Hear me ere you go!
