Gay/Pepusch: The Beggar's Opera: Since Laws were made

CPT. MACHEATH
Air LXVII.--Green Sleeves.
Since Laws were made for ev'ry Degree,
To curb Vice in others, as well as me,
I wonder we han't better Company,
Upon Tyburn Tree!
But Gold from Law can take out the Sting;
And if rich Men like us were to swing,
'Twould thin out the Land, such Numbers to string
Upon Tyburn Tree!

Hi there -- I believe the stage production was directed by Jonathan Miller with musical direction by Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducting the English Baroque Soloists.
CAST: Roger Daltrey, Stratford Johns, Patricia Routledge, and Bob Hoskins
