"Margaret In Captivity"
The Rake:
I have snipped your wingspan, my precious captive swan
Here all clipped of kickstand your spirit won't last long
Don't you lift a finger, don't you snap and jaw
Limber limbs akimbo, rest till rubbing raw
Margaret:
O my own true love, O my own true love!
Can you hear me, love, can you hear me, love?
The Rake:
Don't hold out for rescue, none can hear your call
Till I have wrest and wrecked you behind these fortress walls
Margaret:
O my own true love, O my own true love!
Can you hear me, love, can you hear me, love?
