it may not be - gilbert and sullivan lyrics

[intro, lord chancellor]
it may not be – for so the fates decide!
learn thou that phyllis is my promised bride
[iolanthe]
thy bride! no! no!
[lord chancellor]
it shall be so!
those who would separate us woe betide!

[verse, iolanthe]
my doom thy lips have spoken –
i plead in vain!
[fairies]
forbear! forbear!
[iolanthe]
a vow already broken
i break again!
[fairies]
forbear! forbear!
[iolanthe]
for him – for her – for thee
i yield my life
behold – it may not be!
i am thy wife
[fairies]
aiaiah! aiaiah! aiaiah!
willaloo! willaloo!
[spoken, lord chancellor]
iolanthe! thou livest?
[sung, iolanthe]
aye! i live!
now let me die!
[verse, fairy queen]
once again thy vows are broken:
thou thyself thy doom hast spoken!
[fairies]
aiaiah! aiaiah!
aiaiah! aiaiah!
willahalah! willaloo!
willahalah! willaloo!
[fairy queen]
bow thy head to destiny:
death thy doom, and thou shalt die!
[fairies]
aiaiah! aiaiah!
aiaiah! aiaiah!
willahalah! willaloo!
willahalah! willaloo!
