Text Appearing Before Image: .(Rhadames bows before Amneris, who places the crown upon him.)Now ask of meWhat thou most wishest. Nothing denied to theeOn such a day shall be—I swear itBy my crown, by the sacred gods! The prisoners enter, including Amonasro, who is dressedas an officer. Aida sees him and cries, What do I see! Myfather! All are surprised, and Amonasro signals to Aida notto betray his rank. Amonasro then sings his recital: Amonasro: I am her father. I went to war,Was conquered, and death I sought in vain.(Pointing to his uniform)This habit I wear may tell youThat I have defended my king and my coun-try.Fate was hostile to our arms;Vain was the courage of the brave!At my feet, in the dust extended.Lay the King, transfixed by many wounds;If the love of country is a crimeWe are all criminals—all ready to die!(Turning to the King with a supplicating accent)But thou. O King, thou powerful lord,Be merciful to these men.To-day we are stricken by Fate,To-morrow Fate may smite thee! *35265 12-inch, $1.25 Text Appearing After Image: * Double-Faced Record—See page 29. 22 VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA-VERDIS AIDA
