Mataya.-Where are you going, my pretty maid?
Marie.-Down to the meadow to milk the cow.
Mataya.-May I go with you?
Marie.-No, not now. When I send for thee, then come thou!
Mataya.-" When you send for me?" why not now?
Marie.-Patience! I'll send for thee, I vow.
Mataya. Oh! but I've love for thee sincere.
Marie. That you have love for me sincere, cannot be true, I greatly fear.
Ah! cannot be true, I greatly fear.
Mataya.-Every doubt shall disappear, if but my tale of love you'll hear.
Mataya.-I have a fortune, my pretty maid.
Marie.- Pardon my saying, so have I.
Mataya. -Where do you keep it?
Marie.-Keep it? why-sir, in my face my riches lie.
Mataya. - May I then hope to win thy heart?
MARIE. - Yes, if you love me, mine thou art.
Mataya.- Ah! but I've love for thee sincere.
Marie.- That you have love for me sincere, cannot be true, I greatly fear.
Ah! cannot be true, I greatly fear.
Mataya.-Every doubt shall disappear, if but my tale of love you'll hear.
