“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Decadent or not, I can't help. but love this number. It never fails to make m giggle. Probably the least disturbing ultimately depressing song in the show. It handles unconventional, anti-Bourgeois ideas on sex with tact, charm and considerable delicacy -- and still manages to be very funny in a puckish sort of way.
Comic genius at is best.
