Gilbert And Sullivan The Grand Duke (Or The Statutory Duel) Act Ii Song - Lisa Take care of him--he's much too good to live, With him you must be very gentle: Poor fellow, he's so highly sensitive, And O, so sentimental! Be sure you never let him sit up late In chilly open air conversing-- Poor darling, he's extremely delicate, And wants a deal of nursing! LUD: I want a deal of nursing! LISA: And O, remember this-- When he is cross with pain, A flower and a kiss-- A simple flower--a tender kiss Will bring him round again! His moods you must assiduously watch: When he succumbs to sorrow tragic, Some hardbake or a bit of butter-scotch Will work on him like magic. To contradict a character so rich In trusting love were simple blindness-- He's one of those exalted natures which Will only yield to kindness! LUD: I only yield to kindness! LISA: And O, the bygone bliss! And O, the present pain! That flower and that kiss-- That simple flower--that tender kiss I ne'er shall give again! [Exit, weeping.] |
