I found one "By Jove!" in Pygmalion. (It is Pickering's expression when he sees Liza dressed like a lady for the first time. Ada is a lady's name, too...) "I think she's got it" is the first interjection in the song, "By George, she's got it" the second. I'm not familiar with permissions to refer to deities in theaters of the time (or in comp.lang.ada), so I was assuming some such was meant.
