Gilbert and Sullivan
Oh, Sisters, Deaf To Pity’s Name
[MABEL]
Oh, sisters, deaf to pity’s name,
For shame!
It’s true that he has gone astray,
But pray,
Is that a reason good and true
Why you,
Should all be deaf to pity’s name?

[CHORUS OF GIRLS]
The question is, had he not been
A thing of beauty,
Would she be swayed by quite as keen
A sense of duty?

[MABEL]
For shame, for shame, for shame!
