Selim took possession of the Castle, gave the slaves their liberty, and married Fatima. Selim's brother fell in love with and married Irene, and they all lived together happily.
Cruel Blue Beard being dead
And those lovers in his stead,
Time goes merrily along,
Now a dance, and then a song:
for whenever true love's found,
Joy and pleasure will abound.
By the poor around they're blest,
By the rich around carest;
Guilt may leave behind its stings,
