Lyrics
romeo y julieta//o, she doth teach the torches to burn bright--It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night--like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear-- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear-- Did my heart love till now-- forswear it, sight--For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows-- As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows--The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand--And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand--Did my heart love till now--forswear it, sight--for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night--can I go forward when my heart is here--Turn back, dull earth, and find thy center out--for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night (Adapted from Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene V/Act II, Scene I)
