[@RonLWilson]

On a somewhat different note, you might find it a bit interesting in how I am attempting to set Scene 1 into that of an opera where I just uploaded on my UA-cam channel a rough draft of how that might sound.

[@5QShakespeare]

I'll check it out, thanks!

[@RonLWilson]

What is this mantra of 'interfering parents'??

[@5QShakespeare]

The Parents are the tyrant Dragons (villians) the hero must battle and defeat. The older people vs the young.

[@piushalg8175]

You seem to attribute to the cock's crow a good sign (with a slight reference to the bible). at least in regard of the bible this is not the case because Jesus foretold to Peter that he would betray him before the cock would crow three times. Which would become rue.

[@5QShakespeare]

Ah. I didn't know that. Thanks. I guess I just meant with daylight, the mystery and fear of night is dispelled.

[@darthstarone3532]

Yes it's proves Shakespeare was not a commoner
