Don Pedro

Will you have me, lady?

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Don Pedro is asking to be accepted, plainly and politely. Calling her 'lady' keeps the question courtly and a little formal. It reads as an offer of himself, phrased as a request that leaves her free to answer yes or no, and it puts her choice at the center.
