- Duty Lyrics Father Dominic We are here before our Lord, yet we do not serve him well! Artigat, you must open your eyes! There are Protestants all around, we must protect Artigat (singing in Latin) Every face I see Man and child Man and wife Fighting for their land, for their faith, for their lives! If we fail to fight, then we're damned, count the cost (He takes Bertrande by the arm) All it takes is one to forget then we're lost Villagers Bertrande you have a duty to Catholics everywhere To save the land of Artigat you must provide an heir! (Pierre walks by, with Guillaume chasing after him) Guillaume Pierre, the time has come to listen to me We know Bertrande must give us a child To save our land Pierre What more can I do? If he comes back-- Guillaume She must have it soon If you choose me to marry her next I'll give to you a good Catholic heir Pierre You'll wed Bertrande, but you must agree Her land, her child, remain with me! (Pierre and Guillaume leave) Villagers Bertrande, forget your husband You know what you must do We need an heir for Artigat Bertrande, it's up to you (Bertrande kneels before Father Dominic) Bertrande Every day, I pray for Martin's return, Father Tell me what else can I do? Father Dominic I have spoken to the Bishop, Bertrande He has found an answer to our prayers Bertrande If he has found Martin I promise I will give Artigat an heir Father Dominic The bishop is prepared to grant an annulment of your marriage at last So our land can be saved You will give us a child when you marry Guillaume (Guillaume comes to stand in front of her. Bertrande is surrounded by the women. Guillaume kneels before her and the women force her to kneel as well.) Bertrande Never! Father Dominic Marry Guillaume Bertrande I will never... Father Dominic This is your duty! Bertrande wed Guillaume! Father Dominic You have no choice! Bertrande Not for Catholics Father Dominic The bishop insists Bertrande Not for anyone Father Dominic Artigat demands Bertrande Not for the church Father Dominic I beg you Bertrande! Bertrande (to her mother) Not for you! Father Dominic You'll do as you're told! Bertrande And not for Artigat! (The villagers cross themselves and then leave. Guillaume walks around the kneeling Bertrande.) Villagers Marry Guillaume, do your duty... Marry Guillaume, do your duty...
