The proposal
Paris I’m 30 years old and not married I love Juliet give her to me I’m a good party Also at court, they know me I pay my debts and so much more I give a big feast but beseech once more Now I kneel and ask her hand For Juliet my hart’s on fire
Lord Capulet Good friend, I’m well disposed You’ve certainly deserved her love But listen, her heart will not For the time being not Do not be angry, and have patience Your dream will (ever) be fulfilled Dance with her tonight, You’re expected You shall see her, Maybe she will But don’t go to fast, Return another time Do have patience, I’m not to blame
Great sorrow, her heart will not For the time being not, For the time being not
