KUDRIASH, VARVARA, BORIS and KATERINA.

Katerina. Come, let us go now, let us go! (_They go up the path, Katerina turns round_). Good-bye!

Boris. Till to-morrow.

Katerina. Yes, to-morrow! Tell me what you dream to-night!

[_The girls reach the gate_.

Boris. Yes, yes.

KUDRIASH (_sings and plays guitar_) Come out, lassie, while you may Till the glow of setting day! Ai-lalee, while you may, Till the glow of setting day!

Varvara. (_at the gate_) Aye, my laddie, while I may, Till the glow of break of day! Ai-lalee, while I may, Till the glow of break of day!

Kudriash. When the sun has risen fair And I may not linger mair. [_Exit singing._
