COLONEL Well�察�here we are once more on the scene of our former

��Enter DUKE�察�listlessly�察�and in low spirits。��
DUKE Here I am� 。�Sighs。��
COLONEL Come�察�cheer up�察�don't give way��
DUKE Oh�察�for that�察�I'm as cheerful as a poor devil can be
expected to be who has the misfortune to be a Duke�察�with a
thousand a day��
MAJOR Humph� �Most men would envy you��
DUKE Envy me�拭 �Tell me�察�Major�察�are you fond of toffee��
MAJOR Very��
COLONEL We are all fond of toffee。
ALL We are��
DUKE Yes�察�and toffee in moderation is a capital thing。 But to
live on toffee toffee for breakfast�察�toffee for dinner�察�toffee
for tea to have it supposed that you care for nothing but
toffee�察�and that you would consider yourself insulted if anything
but toffee were offered to you how would you like that��
COLONEL I can quite believe that�察�under those circumstances��
even toffee would become monotonous。
DUKE For ;toffee; read flattery�察�adulation�察�and abject
deference�察�carried to such a pitch that I began�察�at last�察�to
think that man was born bent at an angle of forty´five degrees� �
Great heavens�察�what is there to adulate in me�拭 �Am I particularly
intelligent�察�or remarkably studious�察�or excruciatingly witty�察�or
unusually accomplished�察�or exceptionally virtuous��
COLONEL You're about as commonplace a young man as ever I saw。
ALL You are��
DUKE Exactly� �That's it exactly� �That describes me to a T� �
Thank you all very much� 。�Shakes hands with the Colonel�А �Well��
I couldn't stand it any longer�察�so I joined this second´class
cavalry regiment。 In the army�察�thought I�察�I shall be
occasionally snubbed�察�perhaps even bullied�察�who knows�拭 �The
thought was rapture�察�and here I am。
COLONEL ��looking off�А �Yes�察�and here are the ladies��
DUKE But who is the gentleman with the long hair��
COLONEL I don't know。
DUKE He seems popular��
COLONEL He does seem popular��
��The DRAGOONS back up R。�察�watching the entrance of the Ladies。
BUNTHORNE enters�察�L。U。E。�察�followed by the Ladies�察�two and
two�察�playing on harps as before。 He is composing a poem��
and is quite absorbed。 He sees no one�察�but walks across the
stage�察�followed by the Ladies�察�who take no notice of the
DRAGOONS to the surprise and indignation of those
officers。��
��Bunthorne�察�the Ladies following�察�comes slowly down L。 and then
crosses the stage to R。��
No。 4。 In a doleful train
��Chorus and Solos��
Maidens�察�Ella�察�Angela�察�Saphir�察�Dragoons�察�and Bunthorne
MAIDENS In a doleful train
Two and two we walk all day
For we love in vain��
None so sorrowful as they
Who can only sigh and say��
Woe is me�察�alackaday��
Woe is me�察�alackaday��
DRAGOONS Now is not this ridiculous�察�and is not this
preposterous��
A thorough´paced absurdity explain it if you
can。
Instead of rushing eagerly to cherish us and foster us��
They all prefer this melancholy literary man。
Instead of slyly peering at us��
Casting looks endearing at us��
Blushing at us�察�flushing at us�察�flirting with a fan��
They're actually sneering at us�察�fleering at us��
jeering at us��
Pretty sort of treatment for a military man��
They're actually sneering at us�察�fleering at us��
jeering at us��
Pretty sort of treatment for a military man��
��Bunthorne�察�C。��
ANGELA ��R。 of BUNTHORNE�А �Mystic poet�察�hear our prayer��
Twenty love´sick maidens we
Young and wealthy�察�dark and fair��
All of county family。
