Gilbert And Sullivan - Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast lyrics

[FREDERIC] Oh, is there not one maiden breast Which does not feel the moral beauty Of making worldly interest Subordinate to sense of duty? Who would not give up willingly All matrimonial ambition, To rescue such and one as I From his unfortunate position? [GIRLS] Alas! there's not one maiden breast Which seems to feel the moral beauty Of making worldly interest Subordinate to sense of duty! [FREDERIC] Oh, is there not one maiden here Whose homely face and bad complexion Have caused all hope to disappear Of ever winning man's affection? To such an one, if such there be, I swear by Heaven's arch above you, If you will cast your eyes on me, However plain you be – I'll love you! [GIRLS] Alas! there's not one maiden here Whose homely face and bad complexion Have caused all hope to disappear Of ever winning man's affection! [FREDERIC] Not one? [GIRLS] No, no - not one! [FREDERIC] Not one? [GIRLS] No, no! [MABEL] Yes, one! [GIRLS] 'Tis Mabel! [MABEL] Yes, 'tis Mabel!
