We are dainty little fairies Rise - thou art pardoned!
(Iolanthe and Fairy Queen)
None shall part us
(Strephon and Phyllis)
Though the views of the House have diverged
(Lord Mountararat with The Lord Chancellor and Tolloller)
I'm very much pained to refuse My Lord, I know no Courts
of Chancery
(The Lord Chancellor
and Strephon)
I think I heard him say And a Duke's exalted station be attainable by Competitive Examination!
You're a very fine fellow, sir
(Private Willis and
the Fairy Queen)
George, you're a noble fellow! Faint heart never won
fair lady!!
Iolanthe! Thou livest?
Bow thy head to destiny Soon as we may, off and away House of Peers for
House of Peris!
