lle (Come, Love, in My Boat) M. Regis, Tenor (Double-faced—See p. 551) (In French) 45026 10-inch, $1.00 Fishermen : Come hither, my dearest love! In my little boat embark; Ah! hither come, and with thy smileMy loving heart rejoice.Though leave I must, Eliza, dear,Do not let me alone depart;See how the shining sky aboveA brilliant day doth augur.Gentle as the bending rosebud,Born in the mornings early dew,Heavens threatend tempests wildWill thy presence, love, appease;When by your side Im seated,What new life my soul receives!Theres a Providence above usOur hearts affections will pro-tect. A horn sounds as the sig-nal for the beginning of the an-nual Shepherds Festival, atwhich three marriages are tobe celebrated by Melcthal,the patriarch of the village. Arnold, Melcthals son, is saddened at the signal, thinking ofhis own love, Matilda, who is the daughter of the tyrant Gessler. Tell confides to Arnold some of his plans for overthrowing the power of Gessler, andasks Arnold to assist.
