The boat pulls into view, and Tell jumps ashore before pushing the boat back. William Tell Albrecht Gessler. MEN Come blend your steps with our songs! Stranger so fleet, do you wish to please? Ah, do not run away! The fresh flower is less beautiful when your steps go near it. The fresh flower compared with her is pale and without attractions. Come blend your steps with our songs!
Stranger so fleet, etc. They dance. MEN Come blend your songs, etc. Gessler's soldiers force the Swiss women to dance with them: the people show by their gestures their indignation at this violence. At the conclusion of the dance they all prostrate themselves before the trophy. Some soldiers drag forward Tell and his son, whom they have noticed still standing in the middle of the scene. TELL Taking your strength from their weakness you can degrade this people, but I, I do not recognise the law that prescribes for me a base action.
For him we have everything to fear! TELL Standing, I honour power when it frees us from a shameful slavery, but the independence of my brow bends before God alone. My voice and the perils threaten you together; see these arms, see these soldiers. TELL Serais-je devant toi, si je craignais la mort? TELL May he be the last! May he be the last! He defies, he threatens, come, no mercy, let's disarm him. Such arrogance wearies me. No, no mercy, let's disarm him.

What is his crime?
You are celebrated everywhere as a skilful archer. TELL What are you saying? Non, le crime est trop grand. Il est un Dieu, Gessler! TELL montrant le ciel Il nous entend! TELL Je ne le puis. Abominable loi! Il s'agenouille. La peur l'atteint, un mot l'accable. TELL Ah, je crains tout de ma tendresse. No, the crime is too great.
You have no child! There is a God, Gessler! TELL pointing to the sky He hears us! TELL I cannot. TELL Stop! Abominable decree! You triumph over weakness; Jemmy's peril imposes a base action upon me, Gessler; and I bend the knee before you.
He kneels. Fear overtakes him, a word crushes him. TELL rising to his feet again This punishment at least is just; you punish me for having been able to forget myself. Plus de faiblesse, plus d'alarmes ; Qu'on me rende mes armes : Je suis Guillaume Tell enfin! Non, non, libre au moins je mourrai. The calm in your heart has steadied my hand. No more weakness, no more alarms; give me back my weapons: I am William Tell at last! Tell's bow and quiver are given back to him; bending low, he selects two bolts, one of which he conceals in his garments.
At this moment one of Mathilde's pages is seen leaving the stage and running off towards the castle. What an insult! No, no, free at least will I die. I expose my head to the fatal shot without murmur, and I shall await it without blanching. The accents of innocence do not disarm his vengeance? TELL At the sound of his voice my hand lets slip my weapons, my eyes are clouded by dangerous tears My son!
Gessler nods assent and Jemmy runs towards his father. Demeure ainsi, mais regarde les cieux, Demeure ainsi, mais regarde les cieux. Le moindre mouvement, le moindre mouvement Elle nous attend tous les deux! TELL Ciel! Stay like that, but look up at the sky, stay like that, but look up at the sky.
In threatening this beloved head this steel tip may startle your eyes. Move as little as you can, as little as you can Jemmy, Jemmy, think of your mother! She waits for us both! Jemmy, Jemmy, think of your mother, etc. Jemmy quickly returns to his position at the stake. Tell gazes dully round the assembly.
When his eye falls on Gessler his hand unconsciously moves to the place where he has concealed the second bolt; finally, he takes aim, shoots, and the apple flies off the child's head. TELL Heaven! Je succombe au bonheur. TELL embrassant son fils Je n'ai plus peur. Sacrifice affreux! I am overcome by happiness. Let us help my father! I have saved my dearest treasure! TELL embracing his son I'm no longer afraid. Enter Mathilde with her ladies and pages. What did I hear?
Atrocious sacrifice! Seigneur, seigneur, il faut m'entendre. Le fils aussi! Au nom du souverain, je le prends sous ma garde. Quand tout un peuple, etc. Des fers puniront ta vertu, Des fers puniront ta vertu. His son? A child! My lord, my lord, you must hear me. Nothing can suspend it.

Les coups de la vengeance.
TELL When my death is being prepared may my son, o barbarian, escape from your blows! The rarest of virtue will fall beneath his blows! These words are succeeded by a moment of stupefaction among the people. Vive Gessler! Long live Gessler! Anathema on Gessler! O torments of hell! Les soldats chargent la foule qui se disperse dans la plus grande consternation. La mort que j'envisage, etc. Gessler, Rodolphe and the soldiers force a way through the crowd dragging Tell with them.
Mathilde leaves with Jemmy. The soldiers charge the crowd which disperses in a state of the greatest anxiety.
Ah, let your soul be reassured, etc. You require him to direct his shots against his son, you cause your anger to fall upon a child? But into my breast he has put his courage. Even if at the pleasure of your wrath death becomes my lot, go on, from his hand it will seem sweet, etc. I await the trial with courage, and I await it at your knees. I implore it, I implore it with courage, yes, I await it at your knees.

Je viens vous voir, etc. Nous voulons tous le secourir. William is in chains and my impatience urges on the moment for battle. How silent it is in this place!
I listen - and I hear only the sound of my own footsteps. I must drive out a secret terror! I must go in! In spite of myself I halt upon the threshold; my father is dead, I shall not go back in there. Ancestral home where my eyes opened to the light of day, only yesterday your protective shelter offered a father to my love. I call in vain, o bitter grief!
I call, he no longer hears my voice! Beloved walls within which my father dwelt, I come to see you for the last time!
I come to see you, etc. Ancestral home where my eyes opened to the light of day, beloved walls within which my father dwelt, I come to see you for the last time! I hear alarm-cries.

Give us arms! ARNOLD William and my father long since foresaw the hour for battle: under the rock, at the back of the lonely chalet, run and arm yourselves, run and arm yourselves!
Let's run and arm ourselves! For you, who deprive my love of my father and my mistress, is death enough, is death enough? At last we have swords to arm us, etc. If our leader is in fetters it is to us his defence belongs; the roads to Altdorf are open, the roads to Altdorf are open.
