Waving up kisses to the second floor—

Radiant with joy, as Phœbus or Aurora,

Wooing with warm smiles a second Flora!

And then unto his lady love he played

Upon the Jewish harp a serenade;

While ever and anon there came a flow

Of voice with “Sweep!” and then of “Milk below!”

Romeo enters in a melancholy mood.

Mercu.

His bosom swells, the heavy sighs rise on it;
