(Spoken) The King is pleased!

He is pleased with me!

My Lord and Master

Declares he's pleased with me-



What does he mean?

What does he know of me

This lord and master?

When he has looked at me what has he seen?

Something young

Soft and slim,

Painted cheek,

Tap'ring limb,

Smiling lips

All for him,

Eyes that shine

Just for him-

So he thinks...



Just for him!

Though the man may be

My Lord and Master,

Though he may study me

As hard as he can,

The smile beneath my smile

He'll never see

He'll never know I love another man

He'll never know, I love another man
