Were I Thy Bride

Phoebe gets the jail keys from Wilfred by distracting him. Her father, meanwhile, lets Colonel Fairfax out.


Were I thy bride,
Then all the world beside
Were not too wide
To hold my wealth of love -
Were I thy bride!

Upon thy breast
My loving head would rest,
As on her nest
The tender turtle dove -
Were I thy bride!

This heart of mine
Would be one heart with thine,
And in that shrine
Our happiness would dwell -
Were I thy bride!
