• Princess Ida - Act 2 - 08 The woman of the wisest wit

PSY. The woman of the wisest wit
May sometimes be mistaken, O!
In Ida’s views, I must admit,
My faith is somewhat shaken O!

CYR. On every other point than this
Her learning is untainted, O!
But Man’s a theme with which she is
Entirely unacquainted, O!
– acquainted, O!
– acquainted, O!
Entirely unacquainted, O!

ALL. Then jump for joy and gaily bound,
The truth is found – the truth is found!
Set bells a-ringing through the air –
Ring here and there and everywhere –
And echo forth the joyous sound,
The truth is found – the truth is found!

[Dance.]

MEL. My natural instinct teaches me
(And instinct is important, O!)
You’re ev’rything you ought to be,
And nothing that you oughtn’t, O!

HIL. That fact was seen at once by you
In casual conversation, O!
Which is most creditable to
Your powers of observation, O!
– servation, O!
– servation, O!
Your powers of observation, O!

ALL. Then jump for joy and gaily bound, etc.

[Exeunt PSYCHE, HILARION, CYRIL and FLORIAN, MELISSA going. Enter LADY BLANCHE.]
