This floating belle shall ring for none but me.

I am her father; and my lawyer knows,

Paying for her dresses, I can keep her close.

All’s safe to-night, and so I’ll tramp to bed—

(Moon rises.)[1]

What’s that? the moon is rising overhead,

And coming up in such a smashing way,

It rivals the Museum’s famous Peep o’ Day.

So I’ll to bed, and should marauders roam,

Let them beware; for Capulet’s at home.
