The House of Peers, thoughout the war
Did nothing in particular
And did it very well.

Iolanthe (1882)

The Law is the true embodiment
Of everything that’s excellent.
It has no kind of fault or flaw,
And I, my Lords, embody the Law.

Iolanthe (1882)

Never, never, never,
Faint heart never won fair lady!
Nothing venture, nothing win –
Blood is thick, but water’s thin –
In for a penny, in for a pound –
It's Love that makes the world go round!

Iolanthe (1882)
