Oh, pardon the Count Nillo, pardon your only child!"
"Silence, dishonored daughter, let me not see your shame,
Before the morning lightens, the Count shall lose his head."
"Let the headsman be prepared to take my life likewise,
And the sexton dig a grave wide-for a double bed."
The mournful bells are ringing; for whose death do they
knell?
Count Nillo has been slain; the Infanta's soul has flown;
The body of Count Nillo was buried in the porch,
The Infanta laid to rest before the altar throne.
