The Request of Marriage
Paris I will make the perfect groom I love your child and I am rich So rich, give her to me What must I do? I could help you I'll pay off your debts I'll be like a son My heart will not rest 'Til we are one I beg of you, she is my life Please allow your Juliet to be my wife
Count Capulet My dear friend, control your lust Take a deep breath, you're overwrought In short, when one's aroused I am afraid mistakes are made She's just a child, fourteen tender years Motherhood must wait, she's too young for tears To take a heart before its time Would be a rash, irresponsible crime Not Juliet, not quite yet Take it slow, enjoy the dance One shouldn't rush a great romance
