hter bits of Zerlina s music. Chide me, dear Masetto, Chide Zerlina at your will:Like the patient lamb Ill suffer. Meek and mute and loving still.Rend those locks you praisd so highly, From thine arms Zerlina cast,These fond eyes in rage extinguish, Fondly still theyll look their last.Ah! I see, love, youre relenting, Pardon, kneeling, I implore!Night and day, to thee devoted, Here I vow to err no more. Masetto is only half ap-peased, but goes in todance with his bride.Donna Anna, Donna Elviraand Don Ottavio, disguisedand masked, enter and singa trio, in which they pledgethemselves to have revengeon the traitor.
