J. G. Williamson’s Dramatic Company IN THE Romantic Play “If I Were King."
All French folk, whereso’er ye be, Who love yQur country, soil and sand. From Paris to the Breton Sea, And back again to Norman strand, Forsooth, ye seem a silly band, Sheep without shepherd, left to chance--Far otherwise our Fatherland! If Villon were King of France! Act I.
The Stars should be your pearls upon a string, The World a ruby for your finger ring; And you should have the Sun and Moon to wear, If I were King. Villon. Act 111
Alas for lovers! pair by pair The wind has blown them all away. The young and yare, the fond and fair: Where are the snows of yesterday? Act 11. Deep in the woods I heard a Shepherd A simple ballad to a Sylvan air of love that always found your face more fair 1 could not wish thee any goodlier thing. If I were King! Act IV
