Cavaradossi enters.
|
| Cavaradossi
|
|
|
What are you doing?
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
Saying the Angelus.
|
Cavardossi reveals the portrait.
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
By all that's holy! It's her portrait!

|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
By all that's holy! It's her portrait!
|
| Cavaradossi
|
|
|
Whose?
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
That unknown lady;
She's been coming here lately to pray.
Such devotion and piety.
|
| Cavaradossi
|
|
|
She was so absorbed in prayer,
she never saw me painting her.
|
| Sacristan
|
|
|
Get thee behind me, Satan!
|
| Cavaradossi
|
|
|
Give me the paints.
|
Cavaradossi begins to paint as the Sacristan attends to his tasks.
