No. 12 - Duet - Harry and Lionel - "Though you may choose."
| Harry: | Though you may choose your future bride I do not dread what you may do. It seems our views must coincide, For I would wed the lady too. |
| Lionel: | But think not, pray, your claims I own, Although you dare to talk of love. For come what may, she's mine alone, And this I swear by Heav'n above. |
| Harry: | It's beyond my comprehension Why it should be your intention Thus to have recourse to fighting on a pleasant winter morning. |
| Lionel: | Never mind about the season, I have got sufficient reason, And you'l find it most exciting, So I give you ample warning. |
| Harry: | Young sir, you seem to be annoy'd, And pleased to sneer at my expense. Such self esteem proves you devoid Of tact, I fear, and common sense. |
| Lionel: | You mock me yet, but we shall see; The point today let us decide. You may regret; come follow me Where honour may be satisfied. |
| Harry: | It's beyond my comprehension Why it should be your intention Thus to have recourse to fighting On a pleasant winter morning. |
| Lionel: | Never mind about the season, I have got sufficient reason, And you'l find it most exciting, So I give you ample warning. |
| Harry: | Well sir, if you will insist, |
| Lionel: | Surely he cannot refuse, |
| Harry: | I'll be your antagonist, |
| Lionel: | 'Twas the only course to choose, The only course to choose, The only course to choose. Yes, I am resolved to fight, Draw and God defend the right, |
| Harry: | I'll be your antagonist. |
