No. 10 - Waltz Song - Greta - "Love is tyrant."
Greta: | Love is tyrant to all, Holding hearts in his thrall; No King has half his pow'r, He with a glance makes e'en the bravest cow'r; Woe to hearts that rebel 'Gainst the rule of his spell; He soon binds them again In a golden chain. So I bid you beware, take care, Lest you fall in his artful snare, He'll deceive you, and will grieve you, When his fetters golden you wear, So I bid you beware, take care, Lest you fall in his artful snare, He will always play you, He'll dismay you, This tyrant love, take care! Once I thought to enslave Love, that mischievous knave; Tried that King to dethrone, Rob of his crown, make him my very own, Thou hast ruled us too long, Done us many a wrong; Thy slave no more I'll be, Let me now be free. But I bid you beware, take care, Lest you fall in his artful snare, He'll deceive you, and will grieve you, When his fetters golden you wear, So I bid you beware, take care, Lest you fall in his artful snare, He will always play you, He'll dismay you, This tyrant love, take care! |
