:34:01
despite the obstacles.
:34:04
If we we'll be persistent
we can accomplish anything.
:34:10
Yes, let's be bold.
You've convinced me.
:34:17
This is better
than running off together.
:34:20
What if someone recognizes you,
or Papkin betrays you?
:34:24
Don't look into the abyss,
rather drown your worries
:34:27
in the depth of our love.
:34:31
Stay here then, in God's name.
You have my consent.
:34:35
Your permission
helps us little.
:34:39
We may yet convince my uncle.
Widow Hanna can help us,
:34:44
since they just
declared their love.
:34:48
She is so modest,
yet she promised him her hand.
:34:52
It should be easy for you
to flatter her.
:34:56
Praise her wisdom, virtue,
:34:58
beauty and you can have
any position
:35:02
in our house.
:35:04
From emissary to servant,
isn't that suspicious?
:35:07
But it's an honor,
to be in the Cupbearer's service.
:35:11
I'll tell Widow Hanna.
:35:19
An hour ago she fainted from fear
and now she's fearless.
:35:24
She saw no chance for success,
now she has hope for two.
:35:28
O fair sex,
beautiful and dear,
:35:33
your joys and sorrows are like
gentle wavelets on a lake,
:35:39
always chasing one another.
As one bows down, other rises.
:35:44
But in the light of the golden sun
they are pure and endlessly one.
:35:51
And we men?
:35:53
We, proud rulers
of the world,
:35:56
are chasing
this disappearing shadow,
