Prince Doro. | ||||
Oh bride of mine, Oh baby wife, | ||||
In cradledom demurely plighted. | ||||
Has time dealt kindly with thy life, | ||||
Since thou and I were first united? | ||||
Art thou as fair, and yet as fond | ||||
As in that stage of preparation? | ||||
Ah! Since those days the wizard’s wand | ||||
Has worked some wondrous transformation, Has worked some wondrous transformation. |
||||
Oh bride of mine, whose smiles or tears Will season all my hopes and fears, How art thou changed in eighteen years, How art thou changed in eighteen years? |
||||
Art thou a cold, imperious maid? | ||||
Or canst thou stoop to homely duty? | ||||
A scornful Juno, proud and staid? | ||||
A Hebe blushing in her beauty? | ||||
Hast thou a brain with lore opprest? | ||||
With science in its ev’ry section? | ||||
Or is thy learning in thy breast? | ||||
Thine only art — to win affection, Thine only art — to win affection? |
||||
Oh bride of mine, whose smiles or tears Will season all my hopes and fears, How art thou changed in eighteen years, How art thou changed, |
||||
Oh! bride of mine! |
