Chorus
Singing.
Man is a truly cunning creature, but nevertheless explain. Perhaps you are going to show me some good way
455
to extend my power, some way that I have not had the wit to find out and which you have discovered. Speak! 'tis to your own interest as well as to mine, for if you secure me some advantage, I will surely share it with you.
