Zerlina cannot stay here without me.

His Excellency will take your place.

He will play your part well.

Zerlina is in the hands of a cavalier.

Go. She and I will join you.

Don't worry!

I'm in the hands of a cavalier.

Meaning?

There's no need to worry.

What about me?

Let's end this little spat.

If you don't leave at once,

without protesting,

be careful, you will regret it.

I understand,

sir, yes...

I bow my head and go away.

Because you insist,

I won't protest.

Cavalier you surely are.

I must not doubt you. I am thankful

for the kindness you are showing me.

Little cheat!

You'll always be the ruin of me.

I'm coming!

Stay!

It is a very honest thing.

Perhaps our master will make of you

his mistress.

At last, we're free, sweet Zerlina,

of that country bumpkin.

Didn't I do it well?

He's my husband!

That man?

Do you think an honest man,

a noble cavalier like me,

can bear to see your golden face,

so sweet a face,

snatched away by such an oaf?

I promised to marry him.

Such promise means nothing.

You were not made to be... a peasant,

you deserve a better fate

with those eyes,

those beautiful lips,

those white scented fingers.

It is like touching cream,

and sniffing roses.

I don't want...

What don't you want?

To be deceived in the end.

It is rare that cavaliers

are honest and sincere with women.

That is just mere peasant gossip.

True nobility has honesty

etched in its eyes.

Let's not waste time.

At this very instant, I want...

to marry you.

You?

Certainly.

This little villa is mine.

We will be alone.

And here...

we will marry.

There you will give me

your hand.

There you will say yes.

You see, it isn't far.

Let us go, my beloved.

I'd like to, yet I wouldn't.

My heart trembles a little.

It is true, I would be happy,

but you may be fooling me.

Come, my beauty.

I feel pity for Masetto.

I will change your fate.

Soon I'll no longer be able to resist.

Come!

Let us go.

Let us go, beloved one,

and refresh the pangs

of our innocent love.

Stop, scoundrel,

Heaven made me overhear your lies!

I am in time to save

this poor innocent creature

from your vicious trap.

Alas, what do I hear?

Love, inspire me!

Can't you see

that I want to amuse myself?

Amuse yourself...

I know how you amuse yourself.

Your Lordship,

is it true what she says?

The poor woman is in love with me.

Out of pity I must feign love.

Unfortunately,

I have a kind heart.

Flee the betrayer!

Let him say no more.

His lips lie,

his eyes deceive.

Let my suffering

be of help to you.

Be afraid and learn

from my misfortune.

Today the devil is amusing himself

by balking my pursuit of pleasure.

Everything is going very badly.
