Sweeter than the (h)owls of night,

Hear thy fond one’s voice to you

Genteely asking, How do you do?

How do you do-oo!

Chanticleer in the distance. Cock-a-doodle-do-oo!

Chorus of Rivals. How do you do-oo?

Lovely Berlinda, how do you do?

Roder. Ha! there are rivals—such arrivals much I fear—

Hist! they are coming, my idea is to hide here.

(Hides.)
