“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.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Sliding Down the Slippery Polyamorous Slope...
“I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.”
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.
Let's hear it for Freedom of Expression -- with RESTRAINT bordering on elegance. §;-}>
