JULIA.
True Madam! But how hard to feign a merriment to which the heart's a stranger!
[Aside.
AIR XV. Quintette.
The cross road of life, which all mortals pursue,
Merry Travellers only with comfort pass thro';
They stoop but to gather its pleasantest flowers,
Then gaily trip on with the light-footed hours.
