[CONSTABLE ONE]
Tell his reverence your story
[CONSTABLE TWO]
Let us see if he's impressed
[CONSTABLE ONE]
You were lodging here last night
[CONSTABLE TWO]
You were the honest Bishop's guest.
[CONSTABLE ONE]
And then, out of Christian goodness
[CONSTABLE TWO]
When he learned about your plight
[CONSTABLE ONE]
You maintain he made a present of this silver.
[BISHOP]
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
[The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks]
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God's blessing go with you.
Tell his reverence your story
[CONSTABLE TWO]
Let us see if he's impressed
[CONSTABLE ONE]
You were lodging here last night
[CONSTABLE TWO]
You were the honest Bishop's guest.
[CONSTABLE ONE]
And then, out of Christian goodness
[CONSTABLE TWO]
When he learned about your plight
[CONSTABLE ONE]
You maintain he made a present of this silver.
[BISHOP]
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
[The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks]
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God's blessing go with you.
