If We're Weak Enough to Tarry Lyrics

STREPH. If we're weak enough to tarry
Ere we marry,
You and I,
Of the feeling I inspire
You may tire
By and by.
For peers with flowing coffers
Press their offers -
That is why
I am sure we should not tarry
Ere we marry,
You and I!
PHYL. If we're weak enough to tarry
Ere we marry,
You and I,
With a more attractive maiden,
Iolanthe
Jewel-laden,
You may fly.
If by chance we should be parted,
Broken-hearted
I should die -
So I think we will not tarry
Ere we marry,
You and I.
PHYL.
