Libretto:

OPHÉLIE
A vox jeux, mes amis,
permettez-moi de grâce de prendre part!
Nul n'a suivi ma trace.
J'ai quitté le palais aux premiers feux du jour.
Des larmes de la nuit, la terre était mouillée,
Et l'alouette, avant l'aube éveillée,
Planait dans l'air, ah!...
Ah!... Planait dans l'air!
Mais vous, pourquoi vous parlez bas?
Ne me reconnaissez-vous pas?
Hamlet est mon époux, et je suis Ophélie!

Un doux serment nous lie.
Il m'a donné son cœur en échange du mien,
Et si quelqu'un vous dit
Qu'il me fuit et m'oublie, etc.
N'en croyez rien!
Si l'on vous dit qu'il m'oublie,
N'en croyez rien;
Non, Hamlet est mon époux, et moi,
Et moi, je suis Ophélie.
S'il trahissait sa foi, j'en perdrais la raison!
Partagez-vous mes fleurs!

A toi cette humble branche
De romarin sauvage.
Ah!... Ah!...

A toi cette pervenche.
Ah!... Ah!...
