For something else; but always sigh in vain.

I wait with eager longing for the time

When I can reach that altitude sublime,

For which I hope—which in my dreams I see—

Oh! dearest father, don’t you pity me?

King.

Alas! my daughter, this is hard to hear—

You’re eating candy far too much, my dear.

Cara.

Oh! no, dear pa.
