ELSIE          'Tis done� �I am a bride� �Oh�察�little ring��

               That bearest in thy circlet all the gladness

          That lovers hope for�察�and that poets sing��

               What bringest thou to me but gold and sadness��

          A bridegroom all unknown�察�save in this wise��

               To´day he dies� �To´day�察�alas�察�he dies��



               Though tear and long´drawn sigh

                    Ill fit a bride��

               No sadder wife than I

                    The whole world wide��

                         Ah me� �Ah me��

                    Yet maids there be

               Who would consent to lose

                    The very rose of youth��

                         The flow'r of life��

                    To be�察�in honest truth��

                    A wedded wife��

                         No matter whose��

                         No matter whose��



               Ah me� �what profit we��

                    O maids that sigh��

               Though gold�察�though gold should live

                    If wedded love must die��



               Ere half an hour has rung��

                    A widow I��

               Ah�察�heaven�察�he is too young��

                    Too brave to die��

                         Ah me� �Ah me��

               Yet wives there be

                    So weary worn�察�I trow��

                    That they would scarce complain��

                         So that they could

                    In half an hour attain

                         To widowhood��

                         No matter how��

                         No matter how��



                    O weary wives

                         Who widowhood would win��

                    Rejoice�察�rejoice�察�that ye have time

                         To weary in。



                    O weary wives

                         Who widowhood would win��

                    Rejoice�察�rejoice�察�rejoice�察�

                         that ye have time

                    O weary�察�weary wives�察�rejoice��



     ��Exit ELSIE as WILFRED re´enters。



WILFRED   ��looking after ELSIE�А�'Tis an odd freak for a dying

          man and his confessor to be closeted alone with a

          strange singing girl。 I would fain have espied them��

          but they stopped up the keyhole。 My keyhole��



     ��Enter PHOEBE with SERGEANT MERYLL。 MERYLL remains in the

     background�察�unobserved by WILFRED。



PHOEBE    ��aside�А�Wilfred and alone��



WILFRED   Now what could he have wanted with her�拭�That's what

          puzzles me��



PHOEBE    ��aside�А�Now to get the keys from him。 



          ��Aloud�А�Wilfred has no reprieve arrived��



WILFRED   None。 Thine adored Fairfax is to die。



PHOEBE    Nay�察�thou knowest that I have naught but pity for the

          poor condemned gentleman。



WILFRED   I know that he who is about to die is more to thee

          than I�察�who am alive and well。



PHOEBE    Why�察�that were out of reason�察�dear Wilfred。 Do they

          not say that a live ass is better than a dead lion��

          No�察�I didn't mean that��



WILFRED   Oh�察�they say that�察�do they��



PHOEBE    It's unpardonably rude of them�察�but I believe they put

          it in that way。 Not that it applies to thee�察�who art

          clever beyond all telling��



WILFRED   Oh yes�察�as an assistant´tormentor。



PHOEBE    Nay�察�as a wit�察�as a humorist�察�as a most philosophic

          commentator on the vanity of human resolution。



     ��PHOEBE slyly takes bunch of keys from WILFRED's waistband

     and hands them to MERYLL�察�who enters the Tower�察�unnoticed

     by WILFRED。



WILFRED   Truly�察�I have seen great resolution give way under my

          persuasive methods ��working with a small thumbscrew�А�

          In the nice regulation of a thumbscrew in the

          hundredth part of a single revolution lieth all the

          difference between stony reticence and a torrent of

          impulsive unbosoming that the pen can scarcely follow。

          Ha� �ha� �I am a mad wag。



PHOEBE    ��with a grimace�А�Thou art a most light´hearted and

          delightful companion�察�Master Wilfred。 Thine anecdotes

          of the torture´chamber are the prettiest hearing。



WILFRED   I'm a pleasant fellow an' I choose。 I believe I am the

          merriest dog that barks。 Ah�察�we might be passing happy

          together



PHOEBE    Perhaps。 I do not know。



WILFRED   For thou wouldst make a most tender and loving wife。



PHOEBE    Aye�察�to one whom I really loved。 For there is a wealth

          of love within this little heart saving up for I

          wonder whom�拭�Now�察�of all the world of men�察�I wonder

          whom�拭�To think that he whom I am to wed is now alive

          and somewhere� �Perhaps far away�察�perhaps close at

          hand� �And I know him not� �It seemeth that I am wasting

          time in not knowing him。



WILFRED   Now say that it is I nay� �suppose it for the nonce。

          Say that we are wed suppose it only say that thou

          art my very bride�察�and I thy cherry�察�joyous�察�bright��

          frolicsome husband and that�察�the day's work being

          done�察�and the prisoners stored away for the night��

          thou and I are alone together with a long�察�long

          evening before us��



PHOEBE    ��with a grimace�А�It is a pretty picture but I

          scarcely know。 It cometh so unexpectedly and yetand

          yet were I thy bride



WILFRED   Aye� �wert thou my bride��



PHOEBE    Oh�察�how I would love thee��





                    No。 11。 Were I thy bride

                             ��SONG��

                             Phoebe



PHOEBE                   Were I thy bride��

               Then all the world beside

                    Were not too wide

                         To hold my wealth of love

                    Were I thy bride��



                    Upon thy breast

               My loving head would rest��

                    As on her nest

                         The tender turtle dove

                    Were I thy bride��



                    This heart of mine

               Would be one heart with thine��

                    And in that shrine

                         Our happiness would dwell

                    Were I thy bride��



                    And all day long

               Our lives should be a song��

                    No grief�察�no wrong

                         Should make my heart rebel

                    Were I thy bride��



                    The silvery flute��

               The melancholy lute��

                    Were night´owl's hoot

                         To my low´whispered coo

                    Were I thy bride��



                    The skylark's trill

               Were but discordance shrill

                    To the soft thrill

                         Of wooing as I'd woo

                    Were I thy bride��



          ��MERYLL re´enters�察�gives keys to PHOEBE�察�who replaces

          them at WILFRED's girdle�察�unnoticed by him。 Exit

          MERYLL。



                    The rose's sigh

               Were as a carrion's cry

                    To lullaby

                         Such as I'd sing to thee��

                    Were I thy bride��



                    A feather's press

               Were leaden heaviness to my caress。

                         But then�察�of course�察�you see��

                    I'm not thy bride。



     ��Exit PHOEBE



WILFRED   No�察�thou'rt not not yet� �But�察�Lord�察�how she woo'd�察�I

          should be no mean judge of wooing�察�seeing that I have

          been more hotly woo'd than most men。 I have been woo'd

          by maid�察�widow�察�and wife。 I have been woo'd boldly��

          timidly�察�tearfully�察�shyly by direct assault�察�by

          suggestion�察�by implication�察�by inference�察�and by

          innuendo。 But this wooing is not of the common order��

          it is the wooing of one who must needs me�察�if she die

          for it��



     ��Exit WILFRED。 Enter SERGEANT MERRILL�察�cautiously�察�from

     Tower。



MERYLL    ��looking after them�А�The deed is�察�so far�察�safely

          accomplished。 The slyboots�察�how she wheedled him� �What

          a helpless ninny is a love´sick man� �He is but as a

          lute in a woman's hands she plays upon him whatever

          tune she will。 But the Colonel comes。 I' faith�察�he's

          just in time�察�for the Yeomen parade here for his

          execution in two minutes��



     ��Enter FAIRFAX�察�without beard and moustache�察�and dressed in

     Yeoman's uniform。



FAIRFAX   My good and kind friend�察�thou runnest a grave risk for

          me��



MERYLL    Tut�察�sir�察�no risk。 I'll warrant none here will

          recognise you。 You make a brave Yeoman�察�sir� �So this

          ruff is too high�察�so and the sword should hang thus。

          Here is your halbert�察�sir�察�carry it thus。 The Yeomen

          come。 Now�察�remember�察�you are my brave son�察�Leonard

          Meryll。



FAIRFAX   If I may not bear mine own name�察�there is none other

          I would bear so readily。



MERYLL    Now�察�sir�察�put a bold face on it�察�for they come。





            No。 12。 Oh�察�Sergeant Meryll�察�is it true

                       ��FINALE OF ACT I��

                            Ensemble



     ��Enter YEOMEN of the Guard



YEOMEN         Oh�察�Sergeant Meryll�察�is it true

               The welcome news we read in orders��

          Thy son�察�whose deeds of derring´do

          Are echoed all the country through��

               Has come to join the Tower Warders��

          If so�察�we come to meet him��

          That we may fitly greet him��

          And welcome his arrival here

          With shout on shout and cheer on cheer��

               Hurrah� �Hurrah� �Hurrah��
