MAXIMILIAN(Jesuit Father) Come, heathen of America! Come, see the new domains of God! CHORUS Come, heathen of America! Come, see the new domains of God! PAQUETTE(Jesuit abbess) Ye ho in darkness plod, Come and dwell where Satan's hoof has never trod! CHORUS Come, heathen of America! Where Satan's hoof has never trod! Alleluia! MAXIMILIAN We seek to find God's pardon, Here innocence shall be restored, In this new Eden Garden, Where man has not defied his Lord. PAQUETTE Here shall ye find reward. Come before your hearts in error harden. CHORUS Come, heathen of America! Where innocence shall be restored, PAQUETTE, CANDIDE, MXIMILIAN Alleluia! ALL Alleluia! By amazing coincidence, the Father Superior is Maximilian the Mother Superior, Paquette. Candide tells him that Cunegonde too is miraculously alive, and that he is determined to marry her. Maximilian is outraged: Candide is socially unsuitable. Candide inadvertently stabs him to death, and flees into the jungle. Back in Buenos Aires, three years have passed; in the Governor's Palace Cunegonde and the Old Lady are sharing those miseries experienced only by the very rich and privileged.
