That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odor.

Romeo (without, sings).—

“Yes, meet—yes, meet—yes, meet me by moonlight a—lone.”

Mrs. Pet.—Horrible! monstrous! was ever sound so nerve-destroying heard save from the larynx of a dying calf? I despise these daylight serenades.

The woman that hath no music in herself,

Nor is not woo’d with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;

The motions of her spirit are dull as night,
