ALEEL _looks defiantly at_ SHEMUS.) ALEEL (_singing_) Were I but crazy for love's sakeI know who'd measure out his length,I know the heads that I should break,For crazy men have double strength.There! all's out now to leave or take,And who mocks music mocks at love;And when I'm crazy for love's sakeI'll not go far to choose. (_Snapping his fingers in_ SHEMUS' _face_.)
