Tybalt and Catherine

Chorus

Deep within the fair shores of Italy

Two unlikely lovers

Are bound in matrimony;

A spirited maiden,

A fierce fencer.

Both are brought together

By a duty to their guardians.

The maiden at first

Shows little interest

And seeks to break the engagement.

Seeing she is neither perverse or false

But honest and true,

The fencer pursues

Vigorously, determinedly and yet playfully

Founding the origin

Of the maiden's scorn.

But soon through unexpected tragedy

And an unbreakable promise,

The lovers truly unite.

Their love grows fiercely

And flourishes into the purest love

Stronger, wiser, and sweeter

Than the lovers ever expected.

But more tragedy and tribulations

Rage through as a storm ravages a valley.

Fate is changed and thwarted

As lives are saved

That would otherwise be lost.

As more than one life is saved

So is the fencer's life almost lost

Spared only for a worse fate.

But the maiden, now a wife and lady,

Now fiercely attached to her fencer

Embarks on a journey to liberate her lover

And discovers many hidden truths,

The tale of these two lovers

Crescendos to a climatic end

Only after they grow together again

And realize these important truths;

Friends can turn to enemies

And enemies can turn to friends.

And above all,

Fierce and pure love conquers all.
