Patience

Overture

Twenty love-sick maidens we

Still brooding on their mad infatuation

I cannot tell what this love may be

Twenty love-sick maidens we

The soldiers of our Queen

If you want a receipt for that popular mystery

In a doleful train two and two we walk all day

Twenty love-sick maidens we

When I first put this uniform on

Am I alone and unobserved?

If You’re Anxious For To Shine

Long years ago - fourteen, maybe

Prithee, pretty maiden - prithee

Though to marry you

Let the merry cymbals sound

Now tell us, we pray you

Heart broken at my Patience’s barbarity

Stay, we implore you, before our hopes are blighted

Your maidens hearts, ah, do steel

Come, Walk Up, and Purchase With Avidity

We’ve Been Thrown Over, We’re Aware

And Are You Going a Ticket to Buy?

Hold! Stay Your Hand!

True Love Must Single-Hearted Be

I Hear the Soft Note of the Echoing Voice

But Who Is This, Whose God-Like Grace

List Reginald, Whilst I Confess a Love

On Such Eyes as Maidens Cherish

Sad Is a Woman’s Lot Who, Year by Year

Silvered Is the Raven Hair

Turn, Oh Turn in This Direction

A Magnet Hung in a Hardware Shop

Love Is a Plaintive Song

So Go to Him and Say to Him

It’s Clear That the Mediaeval

If Saphir I Choose to Marry

When I Go Out of the Door

I’m a Waterloo House Young Man

After Much Debate Internal, I on Lady Jane Decide
