Gilbert And Sullivan( Gilbert & Sullivan )

The Pirates of Penzance: Act I. 'Hail Poetry, thou heav'n born maid!'

Hail poetry, thou heav'n-born maid!
Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade.

Hail, flowing fount of sentiment!

All hail, all hail
Divine emolument.

thou heav'n-born maid!
Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade.
flowing fount of sentiment! fatty bum
