    Act 1
    Sung By
    Tripping hither, tripping thither
    Celia and Leila
    Iolanthe! From thy dark exile thou art summoned
    Queen of the Fairies, Iolanthe, Celia, Leila and Chorus of Fairies
    Good morrow, good mother
    Strephon and Chorus of Fairies
    Fare thee well, attractive stranger
    Queen of the Fairies and Chorus of Fairies
    Good morrow, good lover!
    Phyllis and Strephon
    None shall part us from each other
    Phyllis and Strephon
    Loudly let the trumpet bray
    Tenors and Basses
    The law is the true embodiment
    The Lord Chancellor and Chorus of Peers
    My well-loved lord and guardian dear
    Phyllis, Lord Tolloler and Earl of Mountararat
    Nay, tempt me not
    Phyllis
    Spurn not the nobly born
    Lord Tolloler and Chorus
    Lords, it may not be!
    Phyllis, Lord Tolloler, Earl of Mountararat, Strephon, The Lord Chancellor and Chorus of Peers
    When I went to the Bar as a very young man
    The Lord Chancellor
    When darkly looms the day
    Phyllis, Iolanthe, Queen of the Fairies, Leila, Celia, Strephon, Lord Tolloler, Earl of Mountararat, The Lord Chancellor and Chorus of Fairies and Peers
    Act 2
    Sung By
    When all night long a chap remains
    Private Willis
    Strephon's a member of Parliament!
    Chorus
    When Britain truly ruled the waves
    Earl of Mountararat and Chorus
    In vain you plead to us, Don't go!
    Leila, Celia, Chorus of Fairies, Earl of Mountararat and Lord Tolloler
    Oh, foolish fay
    Queen of the Fairies and Chorus of Fairies
    Tho' p'raps I may incur your blame
    Phyllis, Lord Tolloler, Earl of Mountararat and Private Willis
    Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest
    The Lord Chancellor
    He who shies at such a prize
    Lord Tolloler, Earl of Mountararat and The Lord Chancellor
    My Bill has now been read a second time
    Strephon
    If we're weak enough to tarry
    Phyllis and Strephon
    My lord, a suppliant at your feet I kneel
    Fairies and Iolanthe
    It may not be-for so the fates decide!
    Iolanthe, Queen of the Fairies, The Lord Chancellor and Fairies
    Soon as we may, off and away!
