Inez, Vasquez, José, & Sancho: Hand of Fate! we wait thy token.
Voice of Fate! when shall the word be spoken? Hither lead upon the mountain way The man whom we are fated to obey. Rita: Fate, kind Fate! in hope I wait some token!
Fate, kind Fate! when shall the word be spoken? Speed, speed my ring upon its home-ward way, Fate! ah, kind Fate! for liberty I pray; Vasquez: An hour ago,
Among the hills be-low, I came a-cross a strange and foreign face, He bore a load, He'd lost his road; And even now is wandring t'wards this place. José: Had he a pack up-on his back,
And bags of money in his hand? Sancho: It mat-ters not what he had got,
We'll make him captain of our band. Inez, Vasquez, José, & Sancho: Who-e'er is there
We swear We'll take him, And make him Cap-tain of our band.
