letra de with strephon for your foe, no doubt - gilbert and sullivan
[chorus, fairies]
with strephon for your foe, no doubt
a fearful prospect opens out
and who shall say
what evils may
result in consequence?
a hideous vengeance will pursue
all n0blemen who venture to
oppose his views, or boldly choose to offer him offence
[overlayed, peers]
young strephon is the kind of lout
we do not care a fig about!
we cannot say
what evils may
result in consequence!
but lordly vengeance will pursue
all kinds of common people who
oppose our viеws, or boldly choose to offer us offencе

a dire revenge will fall on you
if you besiege
our high prestige –
