Stay in your harem!
I will rule over Egypt.


Yet why despair?
Yet why despair who knows?
Your kingdoms pass you by...

You will gain a maidens heart...
Your kingdoms pass you by...
Who knows... who knows?


See! This gruesome blushing rouge...
With bitter lascivious eye!

Seems to console a lover's smart...
And let those roguish eyes console a lovers smart!


Yet why despair who knows?
Your kingdoms pass you by...
You will gain a maidens heart...

Your kingdoms pass you by...
Who knows... who knows?
