William Schwenck Gilbert - An Appeal

William Schwenck Gilbert - An Appeal

Oh! is there not one maiden breast br Which does not feel the moral beauty br Of making worldly interest br Subordinate to sense of duty? br Who would not give up willingly br All matrimonial ambition br To rescue such a one as I br From his unfortunate position? br br Oh, is there not one maiden here, br Whose homely face and bad complexion br Have caused all hopes to disappear br Of ever winning man's affection? br To such a one, if such there be, br I swear by heaven's arch above you, br If you will cast your eyes on me, - br However plain you be - I'll love you!br br William Schwenck Gilbertbr br
