LUDWIG Now Julia, come,
Consider it from
This dainty point of view--
A timid tender
Feminine gender,
Prompt to coyly coo--
Yet silence seeking,
Seldom speaking
Till she's spoken to--
A comfy, cosy,
Rosyposy, innocent ingenoo!
The part you're suited to--
(To give the deuce her due)
A sweet (O, jiminy!)
Miminypiminy, innocent ingenoo!

JULIA I'm much obliged to you,
I don't think that would do--
BOTH To play (O, jiminy!)
Miminypiminy,
Innocent ingenoo!

JULIA You forget my special magic
(In a high dramatic sense)
Lies in situations tragic--
Undeniably intense.
As I've justified promotion
In the histrionic art,
I'll submit to you my notion
Of a firstrate part.

LUD. Well, let us see your notion
Of a firstrate part.

This calls for the resources of a highclass art,
And satisfies my notion of a firstrate part!
BOTH And satisfies my/her notion of a firstrate part!
