:35:02
in our house.
:35:04
From emissary to servant,
isn't that suspicious?
:35:07
But it's an honor,
to be in the Cupbearer's service.
:35:11
I'll tell Widow Hanna.
:35:19
An hour ago she fainted from fear
and now she's fearless.
:35:24
She saw no chance for success,
now she has hope for two.
:35:28
O fair sex,
beautiful and dear,
:35:33
your joys and sorrows are like
gentle wavelets on a lake,
:35:39
always chasing one another.
As one bows down, other rises.
:35:44
But in the light of the golden sun
they are pure and endlessly one.
:35:51
And we men?
:35:53
We, proud rulers
of the world,
:35:56
are chasing
this disappearing shadow,
:36:00
and live our lives,
from each moment to the next,
:36:04
like flitting butterflies.
:36:13
Congratulate me.
I've just gotten engaged.
:36:18
The Widow Hanna
has given me her promise.
:36:22
I know how difficult it was.
It was my hard work!
:36:25
Your work? Really?
I'll tell you how it was.
:36:29
It was the perfect moment.
:36:32
She received me sweetly,
winking, eyeing me flirtatiously.
:36:36
Straightaway
I began to woo her.
:36:39
What a fuss she made
:36:42
not this, not that,
this way, that way.
:36:44
And I kept on. 'Midst the giggle,
'midst the chatter,
:36:48
closer, ever closer...
then smack!
:36:52
I planted a kiss.
It caused her to blush,
:36:57
and I was confused.
I wanted to run away.
