Scene: Juliet's bedroom. Enter Juliet above. Enter the Poet below.
The Poet
A new star lights before it dies
Or so the fates foretold
The passion in her eyes
A flame of love soon cold
Still I write my poet verse
A tale of love and woe
And I know
I've heard their vows, their songs, their rhymes
Their madness and their light,
I've seen them countless times
Forever fall from sight
And now
Now love has come to you
And like my poet rhyme
You bide your time...
Juliet
You know the words that lovers swear
You voice their ecstasy and woe
So, Poet, tell, what use is there
Of life without my Romeo?
It was my fate to love him so
I've a love of my own now
You know the world, its hope and strife
You speak its tongue, so you should know
So Poet, tell, what good is life
If it's without my Romeo?
The world is mine tonight alone
I've a love of my own now
I've a love of my own now
And should the world turn its back
If I go 'gainst my father
Let the world spurn me back,
I don't fear its choler
I've a love of my own now
Juliet: You see now, Poet? I defy the world tonight.
Juliet
I've a love of my own now...
