Cinderella's Prince

Did I abuse her

Or show her disdain?

Why does she run from me?

If I should lose her,

How shall i regain

The heart she has won from me?



Agony!

Beyond power of speech,

When the one thing you want

Is the only thing out of your reach.



Rapunzel's Prince

High in her tower,

She sits by the hour,

Maintaining her hair.

Blithe and becoming,

and frequently humming

A lighthearted air:

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-



Agony!

Far more painful than yours,

When you know she would go with you

If there only were doors.



Both

Agony!

Oh, the torture they teach!



Rapunzel's Prince

What's an intriguing?



Cinderella's Prince

Of half so fatiguing?



Both

As what's out of reach?



Cinderella's Prince

Am i not sensitive,

Clever,

Well-mannered,

Considerate,

Passionate,

Charming,

As kind as I'm handsome

And heir to a throne?



Rapunzel's Prince

You are everthing maiden's could wish for!



Cinderella's Prince

Then why no?



Rapunzel's Prince

Do i know?



Cinderella's Prince

The girl must be mad!



Rapunzel's Prince

You know nothing of madness

Till you're climbing her hair

And you see her up there

As you're nearing her,

All the while hearing her:

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-



Both

Agony!



Cinderella's Prince

Misery!



Rapunzel's Prince

Woe!



Both

Though it's different for each.



Cinderella's Prince

Always ten steps behind



Rapunzel's Prince

Always ten steps below



Both

And she's just out of reach.

Agony!

That can cut like a knife!



I must have her to wife
