Act 2 - 2: Io vo' gustare quanto più posso dell'opera divina
		Scarpia She will come For the sake of her Mario For the sake of her Mario, she ill surrender to my pleasure! The depth of her love will match he depth of her pain. I relish the violent conquest more than the willing surrender! I take no delight in sighs at the milky light of dawn. I can't strum chords on the guitar or predict the future with flower petals. Nor, can I make cow eyes or coo like a turtle dove. I pursue the thing that I desire I sate myself with it and throw it away turning to something new! God created so many beautiful women, so many wines I want to taste all that Heaven created!			Sciarrone enters. Sciarrone Spoletta's back. Scarpia Send him in. Spoletta enters. Scarpia Well, good sir, how went the chase? Spoletta We followed the lady. We came to a lonely villa deep in the woods... she went in, but soon came out alone. I scaled over the wall with my dogs and burst into the house! We sniffed, rummaged, ransacked; We didn't find him! Scarpia You dog! You traitor! You bungling fool! To the gallows! Spoletta The painter was there. He knows where Angelotti's hiding. With every gesture, every word, he laughed at us. So I arrested him! Scarpia That's better. Spoletta He's in there. Scarpia Bring in the Cavalier. Get Roberti and the judge. [ top ]
