Excerpt from Verdi's Opera Rigoletto: Containing the Italian Text, With an English Translation and the Music of All the Principal Airs
The outwitted jester, finding himself deserted, immediately suspects that all is not right, and tearing off the bandage, perceives the scarf of his daughter, which has been dropped in the flight; he is instantly struck with the conviction that he has been robbed of his beloved Gilda, his only treasure, and that the curse of Count Monterone has already begun to work.
