A witty musical satire that only Gilbert & Sullivan could have written. All the well-born young ladies in the village, rapturously caught up in the aesthetic movement, are in love with two contrasting poets. But the poets are both in love with Patience, the simple village milkmaid, who cares nothing for poetry. Patience learns that true love must be completely unselfish--it must wither and sting and burn! The girls' military suitors don't see the point to aesthetics, but they decide to give it a try to win the women's hearts. It is touch and go for awhile, but everyone ends up with a suitable partner, even if it is only a tulip or lily.
