All was still
When I broke the seal
In dwindling Winter morning shades
I knew a ransom must be paid out
Apostasy, a curse on me?
The weaker vessel secure under grace of God
Matrimonial locks, skeleton key
She pursue my gaze on her
A dance within a masquerade
The servants ransom culled and laid out
Hereditary cornucopia (hereditary cornucopia)
This dire desire for wealth
The lure of a prosperous well
Disfigured child won't die young
The hearts of us all she has won
(But you must leave here)
Silent curtsy, tearful bliss
(God bless you)
Carnal shame, a secret treaty
The lovers bond
