Songtexte The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I: "And now, Sir Richard" - Kurt Streit feat. Robert Lloyd, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
And
now,
Sir
Richard,
I
have
a
boon
to
beg
I
am
in
this
strait
for
no
better
reason
than
because
my
kinsman
Sir
Clarence
Poltwhistle,
one
of
the
secretaries
of
state
Has
charged
me
with
sorcery,
in
order
that
he
may
succeed
to
My
estate,
which
devolves
to
him,
provided
I
die
unmarried
As
thou
wilt
most
surely
do
Nay,
as
I
will
most
surely
not
do,
by
your
worship's
grace
I
have
a
mind
to
thwart
this
good
cousin
of
mine
How?
By
marrying
forthwith,
to
be
sure
But,
heaven
a
mercy!
Whom
wouldst
thou
marry?
Nay,
I
am
indifferent
on
that
score
If
thou
wouldst
serve
a
poor
soldier
who
has
but
An
hour
to
live,
find
me
the
first
that
comes
My
confessor
shall
marry
us,
and
her
dower
shall
be
My
dishonoured
name,
and
a
hundred
crowns
to
boot
In
an
hour
she'll
be
a
widow,
and
I...
A
bachelor
again
for
aught
I
know
Well,
uh,
I
will
see
what
can
be
done
A
thousand
thanks,
good
sir
We
meet
again
on
this
spot
in
an
hour
or
so
I
shall
be
a
bridegroom
then,
and
your
worship
will
wish
me
joy
Till
then,
farewell
I
am
ready,
good
fellows
He's
a
brave
fellow,
and
it
is
a
pity
that
he
should
die
Now,
how
to
find
him
a
bride
at
such
short
notice?
Well,
the
task
should
be
easy
