In the gallery, stalls, and boxes, from the ceiling to the floor;
And although they can’t help glancing at D. Lely when he’s dancing,
Think Miss Brandram’s song entrancing, and give Grossmith an encore,
Still all cry, “Oh, Gilbert, Gilbert, change this title, ‘Ruddygore.’
Not in spelling—we want more.”
