Scene 17 by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux Lyrics
17
MESRIN, EGLÉ, CARISE, AZOR, MESROU
MESROU: Azor's here.
MESRIN: How embarrassing, he’s my friend -- he's going to get an awful shock.
CARISE: From the look of him, I'd say he’s already guessed the wrong you two have done him.
EGLÉ: Yes, he does look sad; ah! he's got good reason to be.
(AZOR comes forward shamefacedly; she carries on.)
Are you upset, Azor?
AZOR: Yes, Eglé.
EGLÉ: Very?
AZOR: Really.
EGLÉ: Evidently, eh! How can you tell I love Mesrin?
AZOR (Astonished.): What?
MESRIN: Yes, my friend.
AZOR: Eglé loves you? She doesn't care about me any more?
EGLÉ: It's true.
AZOR (Joyful.): Eh! Fantastic; carry on, I don't care about you either -- hang on, I'll be right back --
EGLÉ: You hang on, what are you trying to say, you don't love me any more, what's that supposed to mean?
AZOR (As he is going.): You’ll see in a minute.
