Scene two.

“- Darling, Waiting! Tired of waiting.
Change outfits, drive servants,
Read the ancient classics,
Play with a lioness and dream ...
Chatting with girlfriends, guessing
And make up aromas ...
But suddenly a concern appeared:
Our home is an open gate ...
Who lured merchants to the courtyard?
Rich noble fellows?
So, one walked, wandered,
He brought silk and ambergris,
He made the steps into the house rich.
And despite my rebuff,
Confirms one thing: - Amor! Amor!
