My histrionic art
Though you deride,
That's how I'd play that part--
The Grand Duke's Bride!

Oh joy! when two glowing young My boy, when two glowing
hearts, young hearts
From the rise of the curtain, From the rise of the
curtain,
Thus throw themselves into their Thus throw themselves into
their parts, parts,
Success is most certain! Success is most certain!
If the role you're prepared to endow The role I'm prepared to
endow
With such delicate touches, With most delicate touch-
es,
By the heaven above us, I vow By the heaven above us, I
vow
You shall be my Grand Duchess! I will be your Grand
Duchess!
