"If we're weak enough to tarry"
Strephon. |
If we’re weak enough to tarry Ere we marry, You and I, Of the feeling I inspire You may tire By-and-bye. For peers with flowing coffers Press their offers – That is why I am sure we should not tarry Ere we marry, You and I! |

Phyllis. | Strephon. |
Ah! | |
Ah! | Ah! |
If we’re weak enough to tarry | If we’re weak enough to tarry |
Ere we marry, |
Ere we marry, You and I, |
With a more attractive maiden, Jewel-laden, You may fly. |
Of the feeling I inspire You may tire, By-and-bye, |
You and I | Of the feeling I inspire You may tire, By-and-bye, |
If we’re weak enough to tarry Ere we marry, You and I, |
If we’re weak enough to tarry Ere we marry, You and I, |
With a more attractive maiden, Jewel-laden, You may fly. |
Of the feeling I inspire You may tire, By-and-bye, |
So I think we will not tarry Ere we marry, You and I, You and I, You and I. |
So I think we will not tarry Ere we marry, You and I, You and I, You and I. |
