  1. Ah ! le triste sire ! Gros, court, gris, pommelé, rusé, blasé qui guette et furète, gronde et geint tout à la fois. Il est encore avare, brutal, amoureux et jaloux... Et la belle Rosine, sa jeune pupille, est l'infortunée victime de cette odieuse flamme... Mais le ciel protège, dit-on, ceux qui s'aiment. Et Figaro, le gai, l'impertinent, l'irremplaçable Figaro a tôt fait de voler au secours de son maître le comte Almaviva. La belle est cloîtrée ? Le vieillard méfiant ? Qu'à cela ne tienne ! Et le voilà qui court, trompe et invente l'habile stratagème pour sauver les amants. Un enlèvement ? À la bonne heure ! La difficulté de réussir ne fait qu'ajouter à la nécessité d'entreprendre, s'exclame le rusé.
