But the full sum of me
1:06:04
is sum of something
which, to term in gross,

1:06:09
is an unlessoned girl,
1:06:12
unschooled, unpractised.
1:06:18
Happy in this,
she is not yet so old that she may learn.

1:06:22

1:06:31
is that her gentle spirit
commits itself to yours to be directed

1:06:37
as by her governor,
1:06:39
her lord,
1:06:43

1:07:44
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
1:07:47
there is such confusion in my powers.
1:07:52
But when this ring parts from this finger
1:07:59
then parts life from hence -
