GENERAL CHORUS—Con spirito.
Then friendship swear, ye faithful bands,
Swear to save a shackled hero!
See where yon Abbey frowning stands!
Rescue, rescue, brave Rogero!
Cas. Thrall'd in a Monkish tyrant's fetters,
Shall great Rogero hopeless lie?
Y. Pot. In my pocket I have letters,
Saying, "help me, or I die!"
Allegro Allegretto.
