austen's pride demo recording cast - miss bennet lyrics

Loading...

[lady catherine]
you know why i am here
miss bennet

[elizabeth]
indeed, i do not

[lady catherine]
miss bennet
i am not to be trifled with
two days ago your elder sister
made an advantageous match
and will soon be married
i also heard alarming news
which i have come to bury

that you
miss bennet
and my own nephew
miss bennet
very soon will be united too!

though i know it to be a most scandalous falsehood
has my nephew made an offer?

[elizabeth]
lady catherine
you have claimed it can’t be true

[lady catherine]
if enticed by your allurements he forgot his sense
you may have drawn him in, miss bennet

[elizabeth]
if i have then i shall be
the last one to confess it

[lady catherine]
do you know who i am, miss bennet?
let me be understood!
mr. darcy is engaged to my daughter!

[elizabeth]
but you said he made me
an offer

[lady catherine]
the engagement is of a peculiar kind
both mothers planned that the fortunes combine

[elizabeth]
not bound by the wishes of aunt and mother
mr. darcy is free to choose another

and if he wants to marry me
why may i not accept him freely?

[lady catherine]
because honor forbids it!
and you will not receive or deserve my attention
by family and friends your name will not be mentioned

[elizabeth]
those are heavy misfortunes
lady catherine
but his wife, she could ignore them
lady catherine

[lady catherine]
obstinate, obstinate, headstrong girl!

my nephew and daughter
are fated to be
are you to de-bind them
from their destiny?

you have no connections
you know i’m sincere
come now, be sensible
don’t quit your sphere

[elizabeth]
if i should marry him
i would not consider it
quitting my sphere

i’m a gentleman’s daughter
your nephew knows
i am more worthy
than you could suppose

[lady catherine]
tell me once and for all
are you engaged?

(music stops.)

[elizabeth]
i am not

(music resumes.)

[lady catherine]
and you now must promise me
to never, ever marry him

[elizabeth]
you cannot tell me what to do
my life won’t be defined by you

[lady catherine]
but what about your younger sister?

[elizabeth]
what about her?

[lady catherine]
patched-up business
her allotment
such a girl to be my niece
her husband to be darcy’s brother!

heaven and earth!
are the shades of pemberley
to be thus polluted?

[elizabeth]
i have nothing to say
lady catherine
you insult in every way

[lady catherine]
are you then resolved to have him?

[elizabeth]
i’m resolved
to be happy
without reference to you

[lady catherine]
very well
i shall know what to do

(music stops.)

[lady catherine, spoken]
i take no leave of you. i send no compliments to your mother!
(sung)
miss bennet!
