Can YOU Make ME Happy?
I will trust to YOU for ALL I should look up to – ALL I can love?
NO Proposal? NO Obedience?
Obedience? You wish! I care little…
Just ONE MORE Request? YOU Promised!
Do NOT deceive me! Can YOU promise ME a happy marriage?
After WE Become ONE? How Amusing!
STOP being difficult for surely YOU can come NOW?
NO More Heroics! End This NOW!
YOUR sense of duty or inclination is NO longer welcome!
Thou Art Happier? For I Am NOT!
Wife or NOT? Is the ring MINE or NOT?
More Caution? Rejoice!
What is YOUR excuse NOW?
Patience? Wise UP!
When? When? WELL?
Am I NOT Yours? Oh! The Horror!
I am YOURS and YOU are MINE! Be happy about it!
Our Nuptials! Jealous Much?
A obscure and ignoble marriage? How amusing!
Most Silent? How Tiresome!
I do NOT want time and space!
MY Wish is NOT a Secret!
Enough of the malice! MY wish is YOUR loss!
Omit the Patience!
Discipline YOURSELF? I’m sorry – NOT!
