Stay, We Must Not Lose Our Senses lyrics
FREDERIC:
Stay, we must not lose our senses
Men who stick at no offences
Will anon be here.
Piracy their dreadful trade is
Pray you, get you hence, young ladies
While the coast is clear!
(FREDERIC and MABEL retire.)
GIRLS:
No, we must not lose our senses,
If they stick at no offences
We should not be here!
Piracy their dreadful trade is;
Nice companions for young ladies!
Let us disap – (They shriek.)
(During this chorus the PIRATES have entered stealthily, and formed in a semicircle behind the GIRLS. As the GIRLS move to go off each PIRATE seizes a GIRL. KING seizes EDITH and ISABEL, SAMUEL seizes KATE.)
GIRLS:
Too late!
PIRATES:
Ha, ha!
GIRLS:
Too late!
PIRATES:
Ho, ho!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Here’s a first-rate opportunity
To get married with impunity,
And indulge in the felicity
Of unbounded domesticity.
You shall quickly be parsonified,
Conjugally "matrimonified",
By a doctor of divinity,
Who is located in this vicinity.
GIRLS:
We have missed our opportunity
Of escaping with impunity;
So farewell to the felicity
Of our maiden domesticity!
We shall quickly be parsonified,
Conjugally matrimonified,
By a doctor of divinity,
Who is located in this vicinity.
ALL:
By a doctor of divinity
Who resides in this vicinity
By a doctor, a doctor, a doctor of divinity--
Of... Divinity!
