La mia Dorabella capace non è
È la fede delle femmine
Una bella serenata
Ah guarda, sorella
Vorrei dir, e cor non ho
Sento, o Dio, che questo piede
Bella vita militar!
Di scrivermi … ogni giorno
Soave sia il vento
Che vita maledetta
Ah! scostati! … Smanie implacabili
In uomini, in soldati sperare fedeltà?
Che silenzio! … Poverette!
Alla bella Despinetta
Temerari! Sortite … Come scoglio
Non siate ritrosi
E voi ridete?
Un’ aura amorosa del nostro tesoro
Ah, che tutta in un momento si cangiò la sorte mia!
Si mora, sì, si mora
Eccovi il medico, signore belle!
Dove son!
Dammi un bacio
Madame, trattar l’amore en bagetelle
Una donna a quindici anni
Prenderò quel brunettino
Secondate, aurette amiche
La mano a me date
Il core vi dono
Barbara! Perché fuggi?
Ei parte … Per pietà, ben mio, perdona
Amico, abbiamo vinto!
Donne mie, la fate a tanti
Ora vedo che siete una donna di garbo
Fra gli amplessi in pochi istanti
Tutti accusan le donne
Fate presto, o cari amici
Benedetti i doppi coniugi
Miei signori, tutto è fatto
Richiamati da regio contrordine
