[PIRATE KING, RUTH & FREDERIC]
Away, away! my heart's on fire

[KING & RUTH]
Away, away! my heart's on fire;
I burn, this base deception to repay
This very night my vengeance dire
Shall glut itself in gore. Away, away!

[FREDERIC]
Away, away! ere I expire--
I find my duty hard to do to-day!
My heart is filled with anguish dire,
It strikes me to the core. Away, away!

[PIRATE KING]
With falsehood foul
He tricked us of our brides
Let vengeance howl;
The Pirate so decides
Our nature stern
He softened with his lies,
And, in return,
To-night the traitor dies!

[PIRATE KING, RUTH & FREDERIC]
Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies!
Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies!
