               But never�察�oh�察�never a one for me��

                    Which is exasperating for

                    A highly susceptible Chancellor��



ALL。                     Which is�察�etc。



                        ��Enter Lord Tolloller。��



     LORD TOLL。  And now�察�my Lords�察�to the business of the day。

     LORD CH。  By all means。  Phyllis�察�who is a Ward of Court�察�has

so powerfully affected your Lordships�察�that you have appealed to me

in a body to give her to whichever one of you she may think proper

to select�察�and a noble Lord has just gone to her cottage to request

her immediate attendance。  It would be idle to deny that I�察�myself��

have the misfortune to be singularly attracted by this young

person。  My regard for her is rapidly undermining my constitution。 

Three months ago I was a stout man。  I need say no more。  If I

could reconcile it with my duty�察�I should unhesitatingly award her

to myself�察�for I can conscientiously say that I know no man who is

so well fitted to render her exceptionally happy。  ��Peers�此�Hear��

hear�。�  But such an award would be open to misconstruction�察�and

therefore�察�at whatever personal inconvenience�察�I waive my claim。

     LORD TOLL。  My Lord�察�I desire�察�on the part of this House�察�to

express its sincere sympathy with your Lordship's most painful

position。

     LORD CH。  I thank your Lordships。  The feelings of a Lord

Chancellor who is in love with a Ward of Court are not to be

envied。  What is his position�拭 �Can he give his own consent to his

own marriage with his own Ward�拭 �Can he marry his own Ward without

his own consent�拭 �And if he marries his own Ward without his own

consent�察�can he commit himself for contempt of his own Court�拭 �And

if he commit himself for contempt of his own Court�察�can he appear

by counsel before himself�察�to move for arrest of his own judgement�拭�

Ah�察�my Lords�察�it is indeed painful to have to sit upon a woolsack

which is stuffed with such thorns as these� �



                   ��Enter Lord Mountararat。��



     LORD MOUNT。  My Lord�察�I have much pleasure in announcing that

I have succeeded in inducing the young person to present herself at

the Bar of this House。



                            ��Enter Phyllis。��



                      RECITATIVEPHYLLIS。



               My well´loved Lord and Guardian dear��

               You summoned me�察�and I am here��



                        CHORUS OF PEERS。



                    Oh�察�rapture�察�how beautiful��

                    How gentlehow dutiful��



                      SOLOLORD TOLLOLLER。



               Of all the young ladies I know

                    This pretty young lady's the fairest��

               Her lips have the rosiest show��

                    Her eyes are the richest and rarest。

               Her origin's lowly�察�it's true��

                    But of birth and position I've plenty��

               I've grammar and spelling for two��

                    And blood and behaviour for twenty��

                         Her origin's lowly�察�it's true��

                         I've grammar and spelling for two��



CHORUS。        Of birth and position he's plenty��

               With blood and behaviour for twenty��



                     SOLOLORD MOUNTARARAT。



          Though the views of the House have diverged

               On every conceivable motion��

          All questions of Party are merged

               In a frenzy of love and devotion��

          If you ask us distinctly to say

               What Party we claim to belong to��

          We reply�察�without doubt or delay��

               The Party I'm singing this song to��



                         SOLOPHYLLIS。



          I'm very much pained to refuse��

               But I'll stick to my pipes and my tabors��

          I can spell all the words that I use��

               And my grammar's as good as my neighbours'。

          As for birthI was born like the rest��

               My behaviour is rustic but hearty��

          And I know where to turn for the best��

               When I want a particular Party��



              PHYLLIS�察�LORD TOLL。�察�and LORD MOUNT。



          Though her station is none of the best��

          I suppose she was born like the rest��

          And she knows where to look for her hearty��

          When she wants a particular Party��



                      RECITATIVEPHYLLIS。



                    Nay�察�tempt me not。

                         To rank I'll not be bound��

                    In lowly cot

                         Alone is virtue found��



CHORUS。   No�察�no�察�indeed high rank will never hurt you��

          The Peerage is not destitute of virtue。



                     BALLADLORD TOLLOLLER。



               Spurn not the nobly born

                    With love affected��

               Nor treat with virtuous scorn

                    The well´connected。

               High rank involves no shame

               We boast an equal claim

               With him of humble name

                    To be respected��

               Blue blood� �blue blood��

                    When virtuous love is sought

                    Thy power is naught��

               Though dating from the Flood��

                    Blue blood�  �Ah�察�blue blood��



CHORUS。        When virtuous love is sought�察�etc。



               Spare us the bitter pain

                    Of stern denials��

               Nor with low´born disdain

                    Augment our trials。

               Hearts just as pure and fair

               May beat in Belgrave Square

               As in the lowly air

                    Of Seven Dials��

               Blue blood� �blue blood��

                    Of what avail art thou

                    To serve us now��

               Though dating from the Flood��

                    Blue blood�  �Ah�察�blue blood��



CHORUS。        Of what avail art thou�察�etc。



                      RECITATIVEPHYLLIS。



               My Lords�察�it may not be。

                    With grief my heart is riven��

               You waste your time on me��

                    For ah� �my heart is given��



ALL。                     Given��

                  RECITATIVELORD CHANCELLOR。



          And who has dared to brave our high displeasure��

               And thus defy our definite command��



��Enter Strephon。��

Lord Chancellor separates Phyllis from Strephon and orders her off。 

She follows Peers。  Manent Lord Chancellor and Strephon。��



     LORD CH。  Now�察�sir�察�what excuse have you to offer for having

disobeyed an order of the Court of Chancery��

     STREPH。  My Lord�察�I know no Courts of Chancery�察�I go by

Nature's Acts of Parliament。  The beesthe breezethe seasthe

rooksthe brooksthe galesthe valesthe fountains and the

mountains cry�察 �You love this maidentake her�察�we command you� �

'Tis writ in heaven by the bright barbed dart that leaps forth into

lurid light from each grim thundercloud。  The very rain pours forth

her sad and sodden sympathy�  �When chorused Nature bids me take my

love�察�shall I reply�察 �Nay�察�but a certain Chancellor forbids it;�拭�

Sir�察�you are England's Lord High Chancellor�察�but are you Chancellor

of birds and trees�察�King of the winds and Prince of thunderclouds��

     LORD CH。  No。  It's a nice point。  I don't know that I ever

met it before。  But my difficulty is that at present there's no

evidence before the Court that chorused Nature has interested

herself in the matter。

     STREPH。  No evidence�  �You have my word for it。  I tell you

that she bade me take my love。

     LORD CH。  Ah� �but�察�my good sir�察�you mustn't tell us what she

told youit's not evidence。  Now an affidavit from a thunderstorm��

or a few words on oath from a heavy shower�察�would meet with all the

attention they deserve。

     STREPH。  And have you the heart to apply the prosaic rules of

evidence to a case which bubbles over with poetical emotion��

     LORD CH。  Distinctly。  I have always kept my duty strictly

before my eyes�察�and it is to that fact that I owe my advancement to

my present distingui
