Julio and Romiette


Julio, O Julio…
Wherefore canst thou be?

Here I am, fair Romiette…
A-hiding up this tree

Julio, I ask of thee…
Pray, tell me why you hide?

Romiette, I love thee so…
Let us try suicide!

Sweet Julio, say ‘tis not so…
Surely didst thou mis-speak!

Romiette, O Romiette…
Let not thy heart grow weak!

Julio, O Julio…
Let us die with our arms entwined!

Romiette, dear Romiette...
Thou first, if thou don’t mind!
