Belle:If I did not come to the garden,how could Iknow spring's
splendor?

    (Singing to the tune of Silk Robe):
    A riot of deep purple and bright red,
    What pity on the ruins they overspread!
    Why does Heaven giveus brilliant day and dazzling sight?
    Whose house could boast of a sweeter delight?
    What beautiful scenery!
    Why have my parents never mentioned it to me?Together:At dawn on high
    Rainbow clouds fly;
    At dusk the green
    Pavilion is seen.

【皂罗袍】
旦　　原来姹紫嫣红开遍，似这般都付与断井颓垣。
良辰美景奈何天，赏心乐事谁家院！
恁般景致，我老爷和奶奶再不提起。
合　　朝飞暮卷，云霞翠轩；
雨丝风片，烟波画船。
