TRIO: 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!
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.
ALL: Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies! 
Yes, yes! to-night the traitor dies!
RUTH: To-night he dies!
KING: Yes, or early to-morrow.
FREDERIC: His girls likewise?
RUTH: They will welter in sorrow.
KING: The one soft spot
RUTH: In their natures they cherish--
FREDERIC: And all who plot
KING: To abuse it shall perish!
ALL: To-night he dies, etc.
