ARGUMENT

Twenty-five years previous to the action of the opera, lolanthe, a fairy, had committed the capital crime of marrying a mortal. The Queen of the Fairies had commuted the death sentence to banishment for life—on condition that lolanthe must leave her husband without explanation and never see him again. Her son Strephon has grown up as a shepherd, half fairy, half mortal. Strephon loves Phyllis, a shepherdess who is also a ward in Chancery; she returns his love, and knows nothing of his mixed origin.

At the beginning of the opera, the Queen is prevailed upon by other fairies to recall lolanthe from exile. Strephon joins the glad reunion and announces his intention of marrying Phyllis in spite of the Lord Chancellor, her guardian, who refuses permission. The Queen approves, and plans to influence certain boroughs to elect Strephon to Parliament. Meanwhile the entire House of Lords is enamored of Phyllis; they appeal in a body to the Lord Chancellor to give her to whichever peer she may select. The Lord Chancellor is also suffering the pangs of love, but feels he has no legal right to assign her to himself. Phyllis declines to marry a peer; Strephon pleads his cause in court again, but in vain. lolanthe enters and holds tender converse with her son. Since she, like all fairies, looks like a girl of seventeen, Phyllis and the peers misinterpret the situation; they ridicule Strephon's claim that lolanthe is his mother. Phyllis declares now that she will marry either Lord Mountararat or Lo.fd Tolloller. The Fairies take revenge by not merely sending Strephon to Parliment, but also influencing both Houses to pass any bills he may introduce. His innovations culminate in a bill to throw the peerage open to competitive examination. The Peers, seeing their doom approaching, appeal to the Fairies to desist. The Fairies have fallen in love with the Peers and would like to oblige, but it is too late to stop Strephon. The Queen reproaches her subjects for their feminine weakness; she acknowledges her own weakness for a sentry. Private Willis, but asserts that she has it under control.

Lord Mountararat and Lord Tolloller discover that if either marries Phyllis, family tradition will require the loser to kill his successful rival; both therefore renounce Phyllis in the name of friendship. The Lord Chancellor, after considerable struggle, pleads his own cause before himself and convinces himself that the law will allow him to marry her.

Meanwhile Strephon makes Phyllis understand that his mother is a fairy, and they are reconciled. They persuade lolanthe to appeal to the Lord Chancellor. To make the appeal effective, she reveals her identity to him—her husband—and thus again incurs the death penalty. The other Fairies, however, have married their respective Peers, and announce to the Queen that they all have incurred the same sentence. The Lord Chancellor suggests the legal expedient of inserting a single word, to make the law read that every fairy who does not marry a mortal shall die. The Queen corrects the scroll, and asks Private Willis to save her life by marrying her. All the mortals present are then transformed into fairies and fly away with their consorts to Fairyland, leaving the House of Lords to be re- plenished according to intelligence rather than birth.

Celia: Ah, it's all very well, but since our queen banished lolanthe fairy revels have not " been what they were.

Leila: lolanthe was the life and soul of Fairyland. Why, she wrote all our songs and ar- ranged all our dances! We sing her songs and we trip her measures, but we don't enjoy ourselves.

Fletd: To think that five-and-twenty years have elapsed since she was banished! What

could she have done to have deserved so terrible a punishment ? Leila: Something awful: she married a mortal.

Fleta: Oh! Is it injudicious to marry a mortal?

Leila: Injudicious ? It strikes at the root of the whole fairy system. By our laws the fairy who marries a mortal dies.

Celia: But lolanthe didn't die.

{Enter Queen of the Fairies)

Queen: No, because your queen, who loved her with a surpassing love, commuted her sentence to penal servitude for life, on condition that she left her husband without a word of explanation and never communicated with him again.

Leila: And that sentence of penal servitude she is now working out at the bottom of that stream?

Queen: Yes. But when I banished her I gave her all the pleasant places of the earth to dwell in. I'm sure I never intended that she should go and live at the bottom of that stream. It makes me perfectly wretched to think of the discomfort she must have undergone.

Leila: To think of the damp! And her chest was always delicate.

Queen: And the frogs! ugh! I never shall enjoy any peace of mind until I know why lolanthe went to live among the frogs.

Fleta: Then why not summon her and ask her ?

Queen: Why ? Because if I set eyes on her I should forgive her at once.

Celia Then why not forgive her ? Twenty-five years ! it's a long time Leila: Think how we loved her!

Queen : Loved her ? What was your love to mine ? "Why, she was invaluable to me! Who taught me to curl myself inside a buttercup? lolanthe! —Who taught me to swing upon a cobweb? lolanthe! —Who taught me to dive into a dewdrop, to nestle in a nutshell, to gambol upon gossamer? lolanthe!

Leila: She certainly did surprising things.

Fleta: Oh give her back to us, great queen — for your sake, if not for ours.

(All kneel in supplication)

Queen: {irresolute) Oh, I should be strong, but I am weak; I should be marble, but I am clay.

Her punishment has been heavier than I intended. I did not mean that she should

live among the frogs. And—Well! well! it shall be as you wish.

lolanthe: He's extremely pretty, but he's inclined to be stout.

All: (disappointed) Oh!

Queen: I see no objection to stoutness in moderation.

Celia: And what is he ?

lolanthe: He's an Arcadian shepherd, and he loves Phyllis, award in Chancery.

Celia: A mere shepherd, and he half a fairy!

lolanthe: He's a fairy down to the waist, but his legs are mortal.

lolanthe: Then the Lord Chancellor has at last given his consent to your marriage with his beautiful ward, Phyllis?

StrephoH: Not he, indeed! To all my tearful prayers he answers me, "A shepherd lad is no fit helpmate for a ward of Chancery." I stood in court, and there I sang him songs of Arcadee, with flageolet accompaniment, in vain. At first he seemed a- mused, so did the Bar, but, quickly wearying of my song and pipe, he bade me get out. A servile usher then, in crumpled bands and rusty bombazine, led me,

still singing, into Chancery Lane! I'll go no more; I'll marry her today, and

brave the upshot, be what it may! — (Sees fairies) But who are these ?

lolanthe: Oh, Strephon, rejoice with me; my queen has pardoned me !

Strephon: Pardoned you, mother? This is good news, indeed! lolanthe: And these ladies are my beloved sisters.

Strephon: Your sisters ? Then they are my aunts, (kneels)

Queen A pleasant piece of news for your bride on her wedding day!

I tell her, lest it fright- ! nothing of my fairyhood. dare not Strephon : Hush My bride knows en her. She thinks me mortal, and prefers me so.

Leila: Your fairyhood doesn't seem to have done you much good.

of being half a fairy ? Strephon: Much good ? It's the curse of my existence ! What's the use My body can creep through a keyhole, but what's the good of that when my legs are left kicking behind ? I can make myself invisible down to the waist, but that's of no use when my legs remain exposed to view. My brain is a fairy brain, but from the waist downward I'm a gibbering idiot. My upper half is immortal, but my lower half grows older every day, and some day or other must die of old age. What's to become of my upper half when I've buried my lower half I really don't know.

Queen I see your difficulty, but with a fairy brain you should seek an intellectual sphere of action. Let me see: I've a borough or two at my disposal; would you like to go into Parliament ?

lolanthe: A fairy member ! That would be delightful.

see, down to the waist I'm a Tory of Strephon : I'm afraid I should do no good there. You the most determined description, but my legs are a couple of confounded Radi- cals, and on a division they'd be sure to take me into the wrong lobby. You see, they're two to one, which is a strong working majority.

Queen: Don't let that distress you; you shall be returned as a Liberal-Conservative, and your legs shall be our peculiar care.

Strephon : (bowing) I see Your Majesty does not do things by halves.

Queen: No; we are fairies down to the feet.

cellor's consent. j[ shall be of age in two years. Don't you think you could wait two years ?

Strephon: Two years ! You can't have seen yourself. Here, look at that (offering mirror) and

tell me if you think it's reasonable to expect me to wait two years ?

Phyllis: No; you're quite right; it's asking too much — one must be reasonable.

Strephon: Besides, who knows what will happen in two years ? Why, you might fall in love with the Lord Chancellor himself by that time.

Phyllis: Yes, he's a clever old gentleman.

Strephon: As it is, half the House of Lords are sighing at your feet

Phyllis: The House of Lords is certainly extremely attentive.

Strephon: Attentive ? I should think they were ! Why did five-and-twenty Liberal peers come down to shoot over your grass-plot last autumn ? It couldn't have been the sparrows. Why did five-and-twenty Conservative peers come down to fish in your pond? Don't tell me it was the goldfish! No, no. Delays are dangerous, and if we are to marry, the sooner the better.

(Enter lord ToUoller)

" Ld. Toll. : And now, my lord, suppose we proceed to the business of the day?

Ld. Chan. : By all mjeans. Phyllis, who is a ward of court, has so powerfully affected your lordships that you have appealed to me in a body to give her to whichever one of you she may think proper to select; and a noble lord has gone to her cottage to request

her immediate attendance. It would be idle to deny that I, myself, have the mis- fortune to be singularly attracted by this young person. My regard for her is rap- idly undermining my constitution. Three months cigo I was a stout man. I need

say no more. If I could reconcile it with my duty, I should unhesitatingly award

her to myself, for I can conscientiously say that I know no man who is so well fit- ted to render her exceptionally happy. But such an award would be open to mis-

construction, and therefore, at whatever personal inconvenience, I waive nry claim.

— Ld.Toll. My lord, I desire, on the part of this House, to express its sincere sympathy with your lordship's most painful position.

Ld.Chan. I thank your lordships. The feelings of a Lord Chancellor who is in love with a ward of court are not to be envied. What is his position? Can he give his own consent to his own marriage with his own ward? Can he marry his own ward without his own consent? And if he marries his own ward without his own consent, can he commit himself for contempt of his own court? Can he appear by counsel be-

fore himself to move for arrest of his own judgment ? Ah, my lords, it is indeed painful to have to sit upon a woolsack which is stuffed with such thorns as these.

{Enter Lord Mountarat)

Ld. Mount.: My lords, I have the pleasure to inform your lordships that I have succeeded in persuading the young lady to present herself at the bar of this House. (Enter Phyllis) °^ No. 8. "My well-loved lord and guardian dear" Trio and Chorus Phyllis, Lord ToUoller, Lord Mountararat and Peers

Exeunt all the Peers, marching round stage with mtich dignity. Lord Chancellor separates Phyllis

from Strephon, and order her off.

Ld.Chan.: Now, sir, what excuse have you to offer for having disobeyed an order of the court of Chancery? .The bees, Strephon : My lord, I know no court of Chancery; I go by Nature's acts of Parliament the breeze, the seas, the rocks, the brooks, the gales, the vales, the fountains, and the mountains, cry, "You love this maiden; take her, we command you!" 'Tis writ in heav- en by the bright-barbed dart that leaps forth into lurid light from each grim thunder- cloud. The very rain pours forth her sad and sodden sympathy. When chorused Nature bids me take my love, shall I reply, "Nay, but a certain Chancellor forbids it"? Sir, you are England's Lord High Chancellor, but are you Chancellor of birds and trees, king of the winds and prince of thunder- clouds?

Ld.Chan.: No. It's a nice point; I don't know that I ever met it before . But my difficulty is, that at present there's no evidence before the court that chorused Nature has inter- ested herself in the matter.

love. Strephon : No evidence ? You have my word for it. I tell you that she bade me take my Ld. Chan.: Ah! but, my good sir, you mustn't tell us what she told you; it's not evidence. Now, an affidavit from a thunder-storm or a few words on oath from a heavy shower would meet with all the attention they deserve.

Strephon: And have you the heart to apply the prosaic rules of evidence to a case which bub- bles over with poetical emotion?

Ld.Chan.: Distinctly. I have always kept my duty strictly before my eyes; and it is to that fact

that I owe my advancement to my present distinguished position.

Oh, Phyllis ! Phyllis ! To be taken from you just as I was on the point of making you

my own ! Oh, it's too much! it is too much! lolanthe: My son in tears, and on his wedding-day?

Strephori: My wedding-day ! Oh, mother, weep with me, for the law has interposed between us and the Lord Chancellor has separated us for ever

lolanthe: The Lord Chancellor! — (aside) Oh, if he did but know!

Strephori: (overhearing her) If he did but know—what ? lolanthe: No matter. The Lord Chancellor has no power over you. Remember, you are half a fairy; you can defy him —down to the waist. StrephoH: Yes, but from the waist downward he can commit me to prison for years. Of what avail

is it that my body is free if my legs are working out seven years' penal servitude ?

lolanthe: True. But take heart: our queen has promised you her special protection. I'll go to her and lay your peculiar case before her.

Strephon My beloved mother, how can I repay the debt I owe you?

Fleta: If it were you'd have to execute us all.

Queen: You're a fine fellow, sir.

Pvt.Willis: I am generally admired.

Queen: I can quite understand it.— (To Fairies) Now, here is a man whose physical attrib- utes are simply godlike. That man has a most extraordinary effect upon me. If I

/(Exeunt Fairies sorronfully , headed by Fairy Queen) ->D ('•'"^ {Enter Phyllis)

Phyllis: (half crying) I can't think why I'm not in better spirits. I'm engaged to two noblemen at once. That ought to be enough to make any girl happy; but I'm miserable.

Don't suppose it's because I care for Strephon, for I hate him! No girl would care for a man who goes about with a mother considerably younger than himself. {Enter Lord Mountararat)

Ld. Mount.: Phyllis ! my own are one of the noblemen I'm engaged to ? Phyllis : Don't ! How dare yon ? But perhaps you

Ld. Mount.: I'm one of them. Phyllis: Oh! But how came you to have a peerage ?

Ld. Mount.: It's a prize for being born first.

Phyllis: Oh, I see—-a kind of Derby cup.

Ld. Mount.: Not at all. I'm of a very old and distinguished family. Phyllis: And you're proud of your race? Of course you are; you won it. But why are people made peers?

Ld. Mount.: The principle is not easy to explain. {Enter Lord Tolloller, L.)

Ld.ToU.: Phyllis! my darling! {embraces her)

Phyllis: Here's the other! Well, have you settled which it's to be ? delicate to toss up. On Ld.Toll.: Not altogether; it's a difficult position. It would be hardly the whole, we would rather leave it to you. both rich, and you Phyllis: How can it possibly concern me ? You are both earls, and you are are both plain.

40089 !

161

Ld. Mount.: So we are. At least I am. "~ Ld.TolL: So am I.

Ld. Mount.: No, no!

Ld.Toll.: Oh, I am indeed very plain.

Ld. Mount.: Well, well! perhaps you are.

Phyllis : There's really nothing to choose between you. If one of you would forego his title and distribute his estates among his Irish tenantry, why, then I should see a reason for accepting the other. (Phyllis retires vp).

Ld. Mount.: TolloUer, are you prepared to make this sacrifice ? — Ld.TolL: No!

Ld. Mount.: Not even to oblige a lady? — Ld.Toll.: No!

Ld. Mount.: Then the only question is, which of us shall give way to the other? Perhaps, on the whole, she would be happier with me ? I don't know; I may be wrong.

Ld. Toll.: No, I don't know that you are. I really think that she would. But the painful part of the thing is, that if you rob me of the girl of my heart, one of us must perish.

Ld. Mount.: Again the question arises, which shall it be? Do you feel inclined to make this sacrifice?

— Ld.Toll.: No!

Ld. Mount.: Not even to oblige a gentleman?

- — Ld.Toll.: Impossible ! The ToUoller.s have invariably destroyed their successful rivals. It's a family tradition that I have sworn to respect.

Ld. Mount.: I see. Did you swear it before a commissioner ?

^-Ld.Toll.: I did, on affidavit.

Ld. Mount.: Then J don't see how you can help yourself.

Ld.Toll.: It's a painful position, for I have a strong regard for you, George, (shake hands)

Ld. Mount.: (much affected) My dear Thomas!

" Ld.Toll.: You are very dear to me, George. We were boys together— at least /was. If I were to destroy you, my existence would be hopelessly embittered.

Ld. Mount.: Then, my dear Thomas, you must not do it. I say it again and again: if it will have this

effect on you, you must not do it. No, no! If one of us is to destroy the other, let it be me.

^ Ld.Toll.: No, no!

Ld. Mount.: Ah yes! By our boyish friendship I implore you. (shake hands)

— Ld.Toll.: rOT««"A woj'erfj Well! well! be it so. But no, no! I cannot consent to an art which would crush you with unavailing remorse.

Ld. Mount.: But it would not do so. I should be very sad at first—oh! who would not be?— but it would wear off. Hike you very mwich. (shake ^ffwrf.sjbut not,perhaps,asmuchasyoulikeme. ~^ Ld.Toll.: George, you're a noble fellow, but that tell-tale tear betrays you. No, George, you are very fond of me, and I cannot consent to give you a week's uneasiness on my account.

Ld. Mount.: But, dear Thomas, it would not last a week. Remember, you lead the House of Lords;

on your demise I shall take your place. Oh, Thomas, it would not last a day

Ld.Toll.: It's very kind and thoughtful of you to look at it in that light, but there's no disguis- ing it, George —we're in a very awkward position.

Phyllis : fi'OOT?'w^rfo?rwJ Now, I do hope you're not going to fight about me, because it really isn't worth while.

^ Ld.Toll.: I don't believe it is.

Ld. Mount.: Nor I. The sacred ties of friendship are paramount. No consideration shall induce me to raise my hand against Thomas. "^^ Ld.Toll.: And in my eyes the life of George is more sacred than love itself.

During the last lines lords Mountararat and TolloUer have entered. They gaze sympathetically upon the Lord Chancellor's distress. At the

end of his so^ig they come forward. ^ .

Ld. Mount.: I am much distressed to see your lordship in this condition.

Ld.Chan.: Ah, my lords, it is seldom that a Lord Chancellor has reason to envy the position of another, but I am free to confess that I would rather be two earls engaged to Phyllis than any other half-dozen noblemen upon the face of the globe.

Ld.Toll.: (without enthusiasm) Yes. In away, it's an enviable position.

Ld. Mount.: Oh yes — no doubt most enviable. At the same time, seeing you thus, we naturally say to ourselves, "This is very sad. His lordship is constitutionally as blithe as a bird—he trills upon the bench like a thing of song and gladness. His series of judgments in Fsharp, given andante in six-eight time, are among the most remark- able effects ever produced in a court of Chancery. He is, perhaps, the only living instance of a judge whose decrees have received the honor of a double encore.How can we bring ourselves to do that which will deprive the court of Chancery of one of its most attractive features?"

Ld. Chan.: I feel the force of your remarks, but I cannot make up my mind to apply to myself

again. I am here in a double capacity. Firstly, as a Lord Chancellor entrusted with the guardianship of this charming girl; and, secondly, as a suitor for her hand. In

my latter capacity I am overawed by my dignity in my former capacity; I hesitate

to approach myself— it unnerves me.

Ld.Toll.: It's a difficult position. This is what it is to have two capacities. Let us be thank- ful that we are persons of no capacity whatever. gentleman, and Ld. Mount.: But take courage ! Remember, you are a very just and kindly old you need have no hesitation in approaching yourself, so that you do so respectful- ly and with a proper show of deference.

Ld.Chan.: Do you really think so? Well, I will nerve myself to another effort,and if that fails

I resign myself to my fate.

Phyllis: But does your mother know you're — I mean, is she aware of our engagement ? (Enter lolanthe)

lolanthe: She is, and thus she welcomes her daughter-in-law. (kisses her)

Phyllis: She kisses just like other people ! But the Lord Chancellor ?

Strephoti: I had forgotten him.—Mother, none can resist your fairy eloquence. You will go to him and plead for us ?

lolanthe: (Aside) Go to h^iml — (almid) No, no! impossible! Strephon: But our happiness, our vBry lives, depend upon our obtaining his consent. Phyllis: Oh, madam, you cannot refuse to do this?

lolanthe: You know not what you ask ! The Lord Chancellor is my husband Strephon: Your husband? Phyllis: I

lolanthe; My husband and your father ! (Strephon overcome)

Phyllis: Then our course is plain. On his learning that Strephon is his son, all objections to our marriage will be at once removed.

lolanthe: Nay, he must never know. He believes me to have died childless; and, dearly as I love him, I am bound, under penalty of death, not to deceive him .But see,he comes! Quick, my veil! (Retires up)

(Enter Lord Chancellor. lolanthe retires with Strephon and Phyllis) Ld.Chan.. Victory! victory! Success has crowned my efforts, and Imay consider myself engaged to Phyllis. At first I wouldn't hear of it; it was out of the question. But I took heart. I pointed out to myself that I was no stranger to myself —in point of fact, I had been persoucilly acquainted with myself for some years. This had its effect. I admitted that I had watched my professional advancement with considerable interest, and I hand- somely added that I yielded to no one in admiration for my private and professional virtues. This was a great point gained. I then endeavored to work upon my feelings. Conceive my joy when I distinctly perceived a tear glistening in my own eye! Even- tually, after a severe struggle with myself, I reluctantly, most reluctantly, consented.

(lolanthe comes down, Strephon and Phyllis going off.) But whom have we here? 40989 -

(The Peers and Strephon enter. The Queen raises her spear. Lord Chancellor and Strephon implore her mercy, Leila and Celia rush foruard.)

Leila: Hold! If lolanthe must die, so must we all, for as she has sinned, so have we. Queen: What? (Peers and Fairies kneel to fier—Lord Mountararat ivith Leila; Lord TolloUer with Celia.) Celia: We are all fairy duchesses, marchionesses, countesses, viscountesses, and baronesses.

Ld.Mount.: It's our fault; they couldn't help themselves.

Queen: It seems they have helped themselves, and pretty freely ioo\ — (Aftpr a pause) You have all incurred death, but I can't slaughter the whole company. And yet (unfolding a scroll) the law is clear: Every fairy must die who marries a mortal! Ld.Chan.: Allow me, as an old equity draughtsman, to make a suggestion. The subleties of the legal mind are equal to the emergency. The thing is really quite simple; the inser- tion of a single word will do it. Let it stand that every fairy shall die who don't marry a mortal, and there you are, out of your difficulty at once Queen: We like your humor. Very well. CAlteringthe MS. t«pcw«7^— Private Willis! Pvt.WilliS: (coming fonvard) Ma'am?

Queen: To save my life it is necessary that I marry at once. How should you like to be a fairy Guardsman ?

Pvt.WilliS: Well, ma'am, I don't think much of the British soldier who wouldn't ill-convenience himself to save a female in distress. Queen: You are a brave fellow. You're a fairy from this moment. (Wings spring from SentryTs shoulders.)— And you, my lords, how say you ? Will you join our ranks ?

(fairies kneel to Peers, and implore them, to do so.)

Ld.Mount.: (to TolloUer) Well, now that the peers are to be recruited entirely from persons of intelligence, I really don't see what use we are down here.

Ld.Toll.: None, whatever.

to Fairyland ! Queen : Good ! (Wings spring from the shoulders of Peers.)—Then away we go
