y flow.And smiles and tears, so legends say,Make up the sum of Lifes brief day. Yet, whilst that smile the brow is wreathing,One word shall change it to a tear, And one soft sighs impassiond breathingShall bid the tear-drop disappear, When each alike misleads in turn, Oh, who the hearts deep lore shall learn! After many adventures Tamino and Paminameet, and by means of the magic flute they areabout to escape, but are interrupted by Sarastro,who agrees to unite the lovers if they will remainand be purified by the sacred rites; and as thepriest separates them and covers their heads withveils, the curtain falls. ACT II The first scene shows a noble forest and theTemple of Wisdom. The priests assemble, andSarastro orders the lovers brought before him.
