===Deleted songs===
*18a. "De Belville was regarded as the [[James Crichton|Crichton]] of his age" (Mountararat) was cut soon after the opening night of ''Iolanthe''. The number appeared soon after Mountararat's Act II entrance, after Phyllis's comment about Strephon going about "with a mother considerably younger than himself". After a short dialogue (which would also be cut) about how people become peers, Mountararat sings a long song about De Belville, a [[polymath]] whose talents ranged from painting to literature to inventions. Government was at a loss as to how to reward him &ndash; until he inherited millions and obtained a seat in Parliament and "a taste for making inconvenient speeches in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House (of Commons)]]". He was promptly rewarded by being removed from that House by being given a peerage. According to Reginald Allen's ''The First Night Gilbert and Sullivan'', as well as contemporaneous reviews, it was recited on the first night, rather than sung, and the middle stanza omitted. The music has been lost, except for a leader violin part found in a private collection of band parts in 1999.<ref>This discovery was presented by Helga J. Perry and Bruce I. Miller in 2000 at the 11th International Conference on Nineteenth-Century Music at Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, UK.

It was subsequently published by the Sir Arthur Sullivan Society. See Perry, H. J. and Miller, B. I. ''The Reward of Merit?

*21a. "Fold your flapping wings" (Strephon) was sung on the first night and cut soon afterwards. The song, preceded by a recitative for Strephon ("My bill has now been [[reading (legislature)|read]] a second time") appeared shortly after #21, following the exit of the two Earls and the Lord Chancellor and the entrance of Strephon. The tone of the song is dark and angry, in marked contrast with the generally genial tone of ''Iolanthe'', and the lyrics make the case that bad behaviour by the underclasses is caused by their unfortunate circumstances: "I might be as bad – as unlucky, rather – if I only had [[Fagin]] for a father." The music to this song survives, and although most productions continue to omit it, the song has been used in some modern productions and as a separate concert piece.<ref>[https://www.gsarchive.net/iolanthe/html/index.html Includes a brief introduction to "Fold your flapping wings" and a link to the lyrics and a midi file]</ref>
