The Prince’s transformed courtiers and the Rose children, in grand procession, present gifts to the royal couple, as the scene changes to the interior of the castle, in the main hall. When Beauty's Sisters and their Father arrive, a joyous chorus of celebration can begin.

LYRICS
Children’s Chorus:
        Oh, I will give you a golden ring, and jew’ls to hang and birds to sing,
        if you will be my own true love, and true love of mine.
 
        Silken gowns you’ll have to wear, jewelled diadems for your hair,
        if you will be my own true love, and true love of mine.

    Adult Chorus:
        We’ll walk on paths of scented flow’rs; fair music will sweeten our waking hours,
        if you will be my own true love, and true love of mine.

(Beauty and the Prince are attired for the coming celebration.)
 
    Children’s Chorus:
        You shall be my lady and I your knight-in-arms,
        if you’ll come a-dancing, a-dancing with me;
        I’ll bring you a gown of fine silk for you to wear,
        when you go a-dancing, a-dancing with me.
 
        I would have no other, no other to woo me,
        I would have no other to bring me fine clothes;
        I would take no other, no other to dance with;
        you shall be my knight and I your lady.
 
        We will go a-dancing, and you’ll be my own true love;
        we will go a-dancing the whole night through.
        Knights and ladies dancing, a-dancing merrily—
        I will go a-dancing with no one but you.
 
    Adult/Children’s Chorus:
        We’ll feast beneath the pale moon’s light and dance until the end of night,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine—­
        and if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine!

(As Beauty and the Prince sing the following two verses, each places a crown on the other’s head.)
 
    Prince:
        The nightingale’s evensong for us will sound the whole night long,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
    Beauty:
        Ah, each day will I my vow renew of love forever strong and true,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
    Prince and Beauty:
       Come sip the loving-cup’s new wine and link your hand and heart with mine;
        then you will be my own true love and true love of mine.

    Children’s Chorus:
        We will go a-dancing and you’ll be my true love;
        we will be a-dancing the whole night through.
        Knights and ladies dancing, a-dancing merrily—­
        I will go a-dancing with no one but you!

(Beauty’s family enter, ceremonially attired; each of the Sisters is escorted by a handsome courtier.)
 
    Prince and Beauty:
        If you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine;
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
        Come sip the loving-cup’s new wine and link your hand with mine,
        your heart with mine,
        and you will be my own true love!
 
    Father:
        We’ll feast beneath the pale moon’s light and dance until the end of night,
        if you’ll be my own true love, my love, and true love of mine.
 
        Silken gowns you’ll have to wear, jewelled diadems for your hair,
        for your hair, for your hair,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine,
        and love of mine.
 
    First Sister:
        We’ll feast beneath the pale moon’s light, and dance until the end of night,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
        We’ll sing a happy roundelay and dance the summer night away,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
    Second Sister:
        We’ll sing a happy roundelay and dance the summer night away,
        if you’ll be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
        We’ll feast beneath the pale moon’s light and dance until the end of night,
        if you’ll be my own true love; if you’ll be my own true love.
 
    Children’s  Chorus:
        You shall be my lady and I your knight-in-arms,
        if you’ll come a-dancing, a-dancing with me;
        Knights and ladies dancing, a-dancing merrily—­
        I will go a-dancing with no one but you!
 
        I will give you a golden ring, and jewels to hang and birds to sing,
        if you will be my own true love, and true love of mine, ah!
     
    Adult Chorus:
        We’ll call the minstrel with his lyre to sing glad songs before the fire,
        if you will be my own true love and true love of mine.
 
        We will go a-dancing and you’ll be my true love,
        if you’ll go a-dancing, a-dancing with me.
        Knights and ladies dancing, a-dancing merrily—
        I will go a-dancing with no one but you!

    All:
        We’ll feast beneath the pale moon’s light and dance until the end of night,
        for you will be my own true love and true love of mine,
        and true love of mine!
        Ah!

COURT DANCE

Festive garlands descend. The courtiers bow to the royal couple as they kiss, to form the final tableau as the curtain slowly falls.
