    Trial by Jury

    comic opera by Gilbert & Sullivan

    This article is about the comic opera. For the legal institution, see jury trial. For other uses, see Trial by Jury (disambiguation).

    Trial by Jury is a comic opera in one act, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It was first produced on 25 March , at London's Royalty Theatre, where it initially ran for &#;performances and was considered a hit, receiving critical praise and outrunning its popular companion piece, Jacques Offenbach's La Périchole.

    Lady Sophy.
    Bold-faced ranger

    Meets two well-behaved young ladies.
    He's attractive,

    Each a little bit afraid is.
    Youth advances,
    At his glances
    To their danger they awaken;
    They repel him

    Though they speak to him politely,
    Please observe they're sneering slightly,
    Just to show he's acting vainly.
    This is Virtue saying plainly
    "Go away, young bachelor,
    We are not what you take us for!"
    When addressed impertinently,
    English ladies answer gently,
    "Go away, young bachelor,
    We are not what you take us for!"
    Chorus.
    English ladies answer gently,
    When addressed impertinently,
    "Go away, young bachelor,
    We are not what you take us for!"
