[05:43.054]I would, if conscientiously I could, But I cannot!

[06:07.031]I am that Baronet!
[06:10.484]He is that Baronet!
[06:14.199]But when completely rated
[06:17.646]Bad Baronet am I,
[06:21.397]That I am what he's stated
[06:24.834]I'll recklessly deny!
[06:27.510]He'll recklessly deny!
[06:33.119]When I'm a bad Bart. I will tell taradiddles!
[06:34.962]He'll tell taradiddles when he's a bad Bart.

[07:34.543]Hold! my conscience made me!
[07:40.423]Withhold your wrath!
[07:50.010]Within this breast there beats a heart
[07:55.359]Whose voice can't be gainsaid.
[07:59.348]It bade me thy true rank impart,
[08:03.866]And I at once obeyed.
[08:08.149]I knew 'twould blight thy budding fate –
[08:12.417]I knew 'twould cause thee anguish great –
[08:17.503]But did I therefore hesitate?

[09:03.261]Farewell!
[09:04.867]Go bend the knee At Vice's shrine,
[09:11.775]Of life with me All hope resign.
[09:17.885]Farewell! Farewell! Farewell!
[09:34.156]Take me – I am thy bride!
[09:41.625]Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride!
[09:43.518]When the nuptial knot is tied;
[09:45.386]Every day will bring some joy
[09:47.505]That can never, never cloy!
[09:50.695]Excuse me, I'm a virtuous person now –
[09:53.084]That's why I wed you!
[09:55.483]And I to Margaret must keep my vow!
[10:00.308]Have I misread you?
[10:04.063]Oh, joy! with newly kindled rapture warmed,
[10:07.276]I kneel before you!
[10:11.520]I once disliked you;
[10:13.649]Now that I've reformed,
[10:15.774]How I adore you!
[10:18.176]Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride!
[10:20.017]When the nuptial knot is tied;
[10:21.879]Every day will bring some joy
[10:23.747]That can never, never cloy!
[10:26.151]Richard, of him I love bereft,
[10:29.069]Through thy design,
[10:31.203]Thou art the only one that's left,
[10:33.327]So I am thine!
[10:35.196]Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride!
[10:36.788]Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride!
[10:43.476]Oh, happy the lily When kissed by the bee;
[10:45.864]And, sipping tranquilly,Quite happy is he;
[10:48.019]And happy the filly That neighs in her pride;
[10:50.396]But happier than any,A pound to a penny,
[10:52.520]A lover is, when he Embraces his bride!
[10:56.259]Oh, happy the flowers That blossom in June,
[10:58.678]And happy the bowers That gain by the boon,
[11:00.807]But happier by hours The man of descent,
[11:03.191]Who, folly regretting,Is bent on forgetting His bad baronetting,
[11:06.154]And means to repent!
[11:09.360]Oh, happy the blossom That blooms on the lea,
[11:11.494]Likewise the opossum That sits on a tree,
[11:13.894]But when you come across 'em,
[11:16.031]They cannot compareWith those who are treading The dance at a wedding,
[11:17.889]While people are spreading
[11:19.236]The best of good fare!
[11:22.443]Oh, wretched the debtor Who's signing a deed!
[11:24.575]And wretched the letter That no one can read!
[11:26.981]But very much better Their lot it must be Than that of the person
[11:29.368]I'm making this verse on,
[11:30.952]Whose head there's a curse on
[11:32.293]Alluding to me!
[11:35.234]Oh, happy the lily When kissed by the bee;
[11:37.627]And, sipping tranquilly,Quite happy is he;
[11:40.022]And happy the filly That neighs in her pride;
[11:42.683]But happier than any,A pound to a penny,
[11:45.396]A lover is, when he Embraces his bride!
[11:48.358]Embraces his bride!
[11:51.015]Embraces his bride!
