Fairies and Pirates:

"Triumph of Love."

(Air: Bridal March in "Lohengrin.")

Fairies: Triumph of love! Soon they'll be wed!
Sensible mortal! He's taking a wife!
Pirates: Sorrowful day! Count him as dead!
Blindly submitting to bondage for life!
Fairies: Now with her conquest leave her alone!
Pirates: Useless to tell him he ought to have known!
Fairies: Men we subdue, we rout them in battle!
Pirates: Fleece us like sheep, and drive us like cattle!
Fairies: Ours is the vict'ry! Ours is the will!
Pirates: Heaven be thanked! We're bachelors still!
