oh, happy the lily - the d'oyly carte opera company lyrics

duet – rose and richard.
oh, happy the lily
when kissed by the bee;
and, sipping tranquilly, quite happy is he;
and happy the filly
that neighs in her pride;
but happier than any, a pound to a penny, a lover is, when he
embraces his bride!
duet – sir despard and margaret.
oh, happy the flowers that blossom in june,
and happy the bowers that gain by the boon,
but happier by hours the man of descent,
who, folly regretting, is bent on forgetting his bad baronetting,
and means to repent!
trio – hannah, adam, and zorah.
oh, happy the blossom that blooms on the lea,
likewise the opossum that sits on a tree,
but when you come across ’em, they cannot compare
with those who are treading the dance at a wedding, while people are spreading
the best of good fare!
solo – robin.
oh, wretched the debtor who’s signing a deed!
and wretched the letter that no one can read!
but very much better their lot it must be than that of the person
i’m making this verse on, whose head there’s a curse on –alluding to me!
ensemble with chorus.
oh, happy the lily, etc.
dance.
