From Act 1 of the Pirates of Penzance, by Sirs William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
MABEL:
Poor wand'ring one!
Though thou hast surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wand'ring one!
Poor wand'ring one!
If such poor love as mine
Can help thee find
True peace of mind-
Why, take it, it is thine!
GIRLS:
Take heart, no danger low'rs;
Take any heart but ours!
MABEL:
Take heart, fair days will shine;
Take any heart -- take mine!
GIRLS:
Take heart; no danger low'rs;
Take any heart -- but ours!
MABEL:

Though thou hast surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
