Act 1
Sung By
When wars surround, and dangers rife
Edred and Banditti
The generous heart, distressed with shame
Sifrid
When'er Oppression dares to urge
Sifrid
Act 2
Sung By
The lover, journeying to his fair
Ethelbert
The bird, when summer charms no more
Angelina
The mother, anxious for her child
Sifrid
Sweet are the fleet and flying hours
Sifrid and Ethelbert
Act 3
Sung By
O Memory! Thou fond deceiver
Edwin
Turn gently hermit of the dale
Angelina
Then turn, my son, and freely share
Edwin
When, in our youth, a friend we find
Sifrid
But mine the sorrow, mine the fault
Angelina
Turn, Angelina, ever dear
Edwin
Now burst the shout of joy around
Chorus
