Sullivan: The Mikado / Act 1: 16. Your Revels Cease! Assist Me, All Of You!

Your revels cease!
Assist me, all of you!
Why, who is this whose evil eyes
Rain blight on our festivities?

I claim my perjured lover, Nanki Poo
Oh, fool! To shun delights that never cloy
Go, leave thy deadly work undone
Come back, oh, shallow fool
Come back to joy
Away, away, ill-favored one

Ah!
'Tis Katisha
The maid of whom I told you

No!
You shall not go
These arms shall thus enfold you
