Off and away!
We'll commence our journey airy-

Every one is now a fairy!

Every, every, every,
Every one is now a fairy!

Two strings go to every bow,
Make up your minds that grief 'twill bring
If you've two beaux to every string.

House of Peers for House of Peris!

I'm/He's such a susceptible Chancellor.
ALL.
Up in the air, etc.
