Text Appearing After Image:
HOMER as amneris Amneris pretends to sympathize with the afflicted girl, saying: Amneris: The fate of arms was deadly to thy people. Poor Aida! The grief Which weighs down thy heart I share with thee.I am thy friend; Time will heal the anguish of thy heart,And more than time—a powerful god-love. Aida: Oh! love immortal! oh! joy and sorrow,Sweetest delirium, dark doubts and woes!As in thy trials new life I borrow,A heavn of rapture thy smiles disclose. Amneris (aside): This death-like pallor, this strong emotion, Plainly reveal the fever of love!(To Aida): Among the braves who fought so well. Has someone a tender sorrow haply wakendin your heart?Aida: What sayst thou?Amneris: Tremble! I read thy secret, Thou lovst him! lie no longer! I love him too—dost thou hear? I am thy rival, daughter of kings Egyptian. * Double-Faced Record—See page 29. 21 VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA-VERDIS AIDA
