“Sweet Mary”

Description

Dialog; young man asks sweet Mary whether he may ask her parents for her hand. She replies that they will reject his suit; he says he will die of grief. She has a way to save him; "Since my parents are both so contrary/You'd better ask me."

Notes

Should not be confused with "Farewell, Sweet Mary," although it's just possible that this may be a parody of that song. - PJS
