Right on! Indeed, if given to the women to sing, it could just as easily be construed (by minds that naturally go to the perverse) as expectations of themselves being taken care of in their old age by the courtesan-in-training they are preparing for just such a life. People need to remember the era it is portraying and the whimsical and romantic nature of the piece. There is nothing in this that could be construed as perverse or inappropriate, except in the minds of the overly sensitive and overly PC (which, by the way, has already been taken to enough extremes of absurdity.)
