:21:04
- And I will make your bed of roses
- In lovers' vows there is but little truth

:21:10
- And of a thousand fragrant posies
- And love cannot endure without its youth

:21:18
- A cap of flowers and a kirtle
- The flowers fade when summertime is ended

:21:24
- Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle
- Our love is dead

:21:28
A love we thought so splendid
:21:32
If these delights
Your mind may move

:21:38
Then live with me
And be my love

:21:44
But were I young
And loved so well

:21:50
Then I might hold you close forever...
:21:57
So, you brazen wench, you defy me!
:22:06
You dare hold your queen up to ridicule?
You forward hussy!

:22:11
You, who can keep
neither your eyes nor your nose...

:22:14
...or your person where they belong!
Look at you.

:22:18
Because a gentleman once glanced at you
doesn't entitle you...

:22:21
...to come into my presence
dressed like an indecent hedge drab.

:22:25
Take it off, you shameless baggage.
Get out of my sight!

:22:32
You too. Do you stand around like a herd
of stupid cattle while I am treated so?

:22:39
You, too, think I am too old,
too ugly for a man to look upon with love.

:22:50
Take them down!
:22:52
Do you hear me?
:22:54
Smash them.
:22:56
Destroy them.
:22:59
Break every mirror in the palace.
I never want to see one in Whitehall again!
