Text Appearing Before Image: SOLDIERS CHORUS—ACT IV138 VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA-GOUNODS FAUST Text Appearing After Image: DUEL SCENE ACT IV (English) (Italian) (French) The Soldiers Chorus—Deponiam il brando—Deposons les armes Fold the flag, my brothers, Fold the flag, my brothers, Lay by the spear! We come from the battle once more; Our pale praying mothers. Our wives and sisters dear, Our loss need not deplore, Yes! tis a joy for men victorious, To the children by the fire, trembling in our arms,To old age of old time glorious,To talk of wars alarms! Glory and love to the men of old,Their sons may copy their virtues bold,Courage in heart and sword in hand,Ready to fight or ready to die, for Fatherland!Who needs bidding to dare, by a trumpetblown? Who lacks pity to spare, when the field is won?Who would fly from a foe, if alone, or last?And boast he was true, as cowards might doWhen peril is past?Glory and love to the men of old, etc. Now to home again we come, The long and fiery strife of battle over; Rest is pleasant after toil as hard as ours Beneath a stranger sun. Many a maiden fair is waiting
