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!
Phyllis, Iolanthe, Queen of the Fairies, Leila, Celia, Lord Tolloler, Earl of Mountararat, Strephon, The Lord Chancellor and Chorus of Fairies and Peers
