Cherubino is the Count's page, and he has an "over-infatuation problem" with all women. He gets discovered in amorous attitudes with too many women at court, and as a punishment, the Count sends
him on army duty to Seville. In this aria, Figaro (the Count's valet) mocks him about how his new "womenless" life:
"You won't go any more, amorous butterfly
Fluttering around night and day
Disturbing the sleep of beauties
Little Narcissus and Adonis of love"
