Chorus Song


CHORUS:
As before you we defile,
Eloia! Eloia!
Pray you, gentles, do not smile
If we shout, in classic style,
Eloia!
Ludwig and his Julia true
Wedded are each other to--
So we sing, till all is blue,
Eloia! Eloia!
Opoponax! Eloia!

Wreaths of bay and ivy twine,
Eloia! Eloia!
Fill the bowl with Lesbian wine,
And to revelry incline--
Eloia!

For as gaily we pass on
Probably we shall, anon,
Sing a Diergeticon--
Eloia! Eloia!
Opoponax! Eloia!

RECIT--LUDWIG:

Your loyalty our Ducal heartstrings touches:
Allow me to present your new Grand Duchess
Should she offend, you'll graciously excuse her--
And kindly recollect I didn't choose her
