No. 24 - Flower Chorus - "A chance, dear girls."
| Men: | A chance, dear girls, to exercise your pow'rs; We're ask'd to deck the castle for the fête; And while we deck the place with ferns and flow'rs, We'll all enjoy a pleasant tête-à-tête, We'll all enjoy a pleasant, yes, a pleasant tête-à-tête. |
| Girls: | One marriage maketh many it is said, For Cupid shoots his arrows all around, So while you pin the foliage overhead, We have a chance to bring you to the ground, We have a chance to bring you to the ground. |
| All: | Let the castle when bedeck'd Typify our bride elect, Typify our bride elect. Stately lilies in their pride Match the pureness of the bride. Roses blush as doth her cheek With the love she cannot speak. Roses blush as doth her cheek With the love she cannot speak. |
| Sopranos: | Violets reflect her eyes. |
| Contraltos: | Pansies voice her maiden sighs. |
| All: | Pansies voice her maiden sighs. Let the castle when bedeck'd Typify the bride elect, Typify our bride, our bride elect. Typify our bride elect. |
