(These are Mistress Cymbric's lyrics based
on the old period song.)
S'EAN:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I ever see thee wed?
ROSE:
I will marry at my will Sire, at my will.
S'EAN:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I ever see thee wed?
You will marry at my will, Child, at my will.
ROSE:
S'ean, S'ean, S'ean, Wilt thou ever see me wed?
I will marry at my will Sire, at my will.
-----------
ROSE:
So, so, so, so. So in love with you, my Lord
S'EAN:
Will I ever win her favour, for I am so old.
ROSE:
So, so, so, so. So in love with you, my Lord
Will I ever win his favour, for I am so young.
S'EAN:
So, so, so, so. So in love with you, my child.
Will I ever win her favour, for I am so old.
----------
S'EAN:
All alone, so all alone. So many years now on my own,
ROSE:
Must he live with no one near him, no one at all.
S'EAN:
All alone, so all alone. So many years now all alone.
Must I die with no one near me, no one at all.
ROSE:
All alone, so all alone. So many years now all alone.
Must he live with no one near him, no one at all.
----------
S'EAN:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I never see thee wed?
ROSE:
I will marry at my will Sire, at my will.
S'EAN:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I never see thee wed?
You will marry at thy will, Child, at thy will.
ROSE:
S'ean, S'ean, S'ean, Wilt thou ever see me wed?
I will marry at my will Sire, at my will.
S'EAN:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I never see thee wed?
Will you marry at my will, Child, at my will?
ROSE:
S'ean, S'ean, S'ean, Wilt thou ever see me wed?
I will marry at my will Sire, at my will.
S'EAN: (slowing down the tempo. Deliberate.)
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose. Will I never see us wed?
ROSE: (Slow, not sure she understood correctly)
Will thou never see us wed? (S'ean begins to leave)
Yes, we'll marry at your will, Sire
Yes, we'll marry at our will, Sire, at our will.
Yes, we'll marry... only you.
S'EAN:
Yes, she'll marry at her will, then.
Yes, we'll marry at our will then.
Yes, only you. Yes... only you.
(now, much of this song is done as a "round" and as such,
much of the dialogue goes over one another.)
