Oh, foolish fay lyrics

[Verse, Fairy Queen]
Oh, foolish fay
Think you, because
His brave array
My bosom thaws
I'd disobey
Our fairy laws?
Because I fly
In realms above
In tendency
To fall in love

[Chorus, Fairy Queen]
Resemble I
The amorous dove?
Resemble I
The amorous dove?
Oh, amorous dove!
Type of Ovidius Naso!
This heart of mine
Is soft as thine
Although I dare not say so!
[Fairies]
Oh, amorous dove!
Type of Ovidius Naso!
[Verse, Fairy Queen]
On fire that glows
With heat intense
I turn the hose
Of common sense
And out it goes
At small expense!
We must maintain
Our fairy law;
That is thе main
On which to draw -
In that we gain
A Captain Shaw!
In that we gain
A Captain Shaw!

[Chorus, Fairy Queen]
Oh, Captain Shaw!
Type of truе love kept under!
Could thy Brigade
With cold cascade
Quench my great love, I wonder!
[Fairies]
Oh, Captain Shaw!
Type of true love kept under!
[Fairy Queen]
Could thy Brigade
With cold cascade
Quench my great love, I wonder!
