William Schwenck Gilbert - The Fairy Queen`s SongWilliam Schwenck Gilbert - The Fairy Queen`s Song
Work rating: Low


Oh, foolish fay, Think you because Man`s brave array My bosom thaws I`d disobey Our fairy laws? Because I fly In realms above, In tendency To fall in love Resemble I The amorous dove? Oh, amorous dove! Type of Ovidius Naso! This heart of mine Is soft as thine, Although I dare not say so! On fire that glows With heat intense I turn the hose Of Common Sense, And out it goes At small expense! We must maintain Our fairy law; That is the main On which to draw - In that we gain A Captain Shaw. Oh, Captain Shaw! Type of true love kept under! Could thy Brigade With cold cascade Quench my great love, I wonder!
