LIEUT。 Who fired that shot�拭�At once the truth declare��
WILFRED My lord�察�'twas I to rashly judge forebear��
POINT My lord�察�'twas he to rashly judge forebear��
WILFRED Like a ghost his vigil keeping
POINT Or a spectre all´appalling
WILFRED I beheld a figure creeping
POINT I should rather call it crawling
WILFRED He was creeping
POINT He was crawling
WILFRED He was creeping�察�creeping
POINT Crawling��
WILFRED He was creeping
POINT He was crawling
WILFRED He was creeping�察�creeping
POINT Crawling��
WILFRED Not a moment's hesitation
I myself upon him flung��
With a hurried exclamation
To his draperies I hung��
Then we closed with one another
In a rough´and´tumble smother��
Col'nel Fairfax and no other
Was the man to whom I clung��
ALL Col'nel Fairfax and no other��
Was the man to whom he clung��
WILFRED After mighty tug and tussle
POINT It resembled more a struggle
WILFRED He�察�by dint of stronger muscle
POINT Or by some infernal juggle
WILFRED From my clutches quickly sliding
POINT I should rather call it slipping
WILFRED With a view�察�no doubt�察�of hiding
POINT Or escaping to the shipping
WILFRED With a gasp�察�and with a quiver
POINT I'd describe it as a shiver
WILFRED Down he dived into the river��
And�察�alas�察�I cannot swim。
ALL It's enough to make one shiver��
With a gasp�察�and with a quiver��
Down he dived into the river��
It was very brave of him��
WILFRED Ingenuity is catching��
With the view my King of pleasing��
Arquebus from sentry snatching
POINT I should rather call it seizing
WILFRED With an ounce or two of lead
I dispatched him through the head��
ALL With an ounce or two of lead
He dispatched him through the head��
WILFRED I discharged it without winking��
Little time I lost in thinking��
Like a stone I saw him sinking
POINT I should say a lump of lead。
ALL He discharged it without winking��
Little time he lost in thinking。
WILFRED Like a stone I saw him sinking
POINT I should say a lump of lead。
WILFRED Like a stone�察�my boy�察�I said
POINT Like a heavy lump of lead。
WILFRED Like a stone�察�my boy�察�I said
POINT Like a heavy lump of lead。
WILFRED Anyhow�察�the man is dead��
Whether stone or lump of lead��
ALL Anyhow�察�the man is dead��
Whether stone or lump of lead��
Arquebus from sentry seizing��
With the view his King of pleasing��
Arquebus from sentry seizing��
With the view his King of pleasing��
Wilfred shot him through the head��
And he's very�察�very dead��
And it matters very little
Whether stone or lump of lead��
It is very�察�very certain that
he's very�察�very dead��
LIEUT。 The river must be dragged no time be lost��
The body must be found�察�at any cost。
To this attend without undue delay��
So set to work with what dispatch ye may��
��Exit LIEUTENANT
ALL Yes�察�yes��
We'll set to work with what dispatch we may��
��Men raise WILFRED�察�and carry him off on their shoulders。
ALL Hail the valiant fellow who
Did this deed of derring´do��
Honours wait on such an one��
By my head�察�'twas bravely done��
'twas bravely done��
Now�察�by my head�察�'twas bravely done��
��Exeunt all but ELSIE�察�POINT�察�FAIRFAX�察�and PHOEBE。
POINT ��to ELSIE�察�who is weeping�А�Nay�察�sweetheart�察�be
comforted。 This Fairfax was but a pestilent fellow��
and�察�as he had to die�察�he might as well die thus as
any other way。 'Twas a good death。
ELSIE Still�察�he was my husband�察�and had he not been�察�he was
nevertheless a living man�察�and now he is dead�察�and so��
by your leave�察�my tears may flow unchidden�察�Master
Point。
FAIRFAX And thou didst see all this��
POINT Aye�察�with both eyes at once this and that。 The
testimony of one eye is naught he may lie。 But when
it is corroborated by the other�察�it is good evidence
that none may gainsay。 Here are both present in court��
ready to swear to him��
PHOEBE But art thou sure it was Colonel Fairfax�拭�Saw you his
face��
POINT Aye�察�and a plaguey ill´favoured face too。 A very hang´
dog face a felon face a face to fright the headsman
himself�察�and make him strike awry。 Oh�察�a plaguey�察�bad
face�察�take my word for it。 ��PHOEBE and FAIRFAX laugh��
How they laugh� �Tis ever thus with simple folk an
accepted wit has but to say ;Pass the mustard�察─�and
they roar their ribs out��
FAIRFAX ��aside�А�If ever I come to life again�察�thou shalt pay
for this�察�Master Point��
POINT Now�察�Elsie�察�thou art free to choose again�察�so behold
me�此�I am young and well´favoured。 I have a pretty wit。
I can jest you�察�jibe you�察�quip you�察�crank you�察�wrack
you�察�riddle you
FAIRFAX Tush�察�man�察�thou knowest not how to woo。 'Tis not to be
done with time´worn jests and thread´bare sophistries��
with quips�察�conundrums�察�rhymes�察�and paradoxes。 'Tis an
art in itself�察�and must be studied gravely and
conscientiously。
No。 19。 A man who would woo a fair maid
��TRIO��
Elsie�察�Phoebe�察�and Fairfax
FAIRFAX A man who would woo a fair maid��
Should 'prentice himself to the trade��
And study all day��
In methodical way��
How to flatter�察�cajole�察�and persuade。
He should 'prentice himself at fourteen��
And practise from morning to e'en��
And when he's of age��
If he will�察�I'll engage��
He may capture the heart of a queen��
the heart of a queen��
ALL It is purely a matter of skill��
Which all may attain if they will。
But every Jack
He must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
ELSIE If he's made the best use of his time��
His twig he'll so carefully lime
That every bird
Will come down at his word��
Whatever its plumage and clime。
He must learn that the thrill of a touch
May mean little�察�or nothing�察�or much��
It's an instrument rare��
To be handled with care��
And ought to be treated as such��
Ought to be treated as such。
ALL It is purely a matter of skill��
Which all may attain if they will��
But every Jack��
He must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
PHOEBE Then a glance may be timid or free��
It will vary in mighty degree��
From an impudent stare
To a look of despair
That no maid without pity can see��
And a glance of despair is no guide
It may have its ridiculous side��
It may draw you a tear
Or a box on the ear��
You can never be sure till you've tried��
Never be sure till you've tried��
ALL It is purely a matter of skill��
Which all may attain if they will��
But every Jack��
He must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
But every Jack��
He must study the knack��
But every Jack��
Must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
Yes�察�every Jack��
Must study the knack
If he wants to make sure of his Jill��
FAIRFAX ��aside to POINT�А�Now�察�listen to me 'tis done thus
��aloud�А�Mistress Elsie�察�there is one here who�察�as thou
knowest�察�loves thee right well��
POINT ��aside�А�That he does right well��
FAIRFAX He is but a man of poor estate�察�but he hath a loving��
honest heart。 He will be
