��GROSVENOR makes a wild effort to escape up´stage�察�the GIRLS drag

     him back and kneel as the curtain falls。��



                          END OF ACT I

                             ACT II





��SCENE  A wooded glade�察�with a view of open country in the

     background。  The chorus of MAIDENS is heard singing in the

     distance。  JANE is discovered leaning on a violoncello��

     which she has propped up on a tree´stump�察�L。�察�and upon which

     she will presently accompany herself。  As the Chorus ends��

     she speaks。��



            No。 10。 On such eyes as maidens cherish

                        ��Opening Chorus��



                            Maidens



               On such eyes as maidens cherish

                    Lest thy fond adorers gaze��

               Or incontinently perish��

                    In their all´consuming rays��

               Or incontinently perish��

                    In their all´consuming rays��





JANE  The fickle crew have deserted Reginald and sworn allegiance

to his rival�察�and all�察�forsooth�察�because he has glanced with

passing favour on a puling milkmaid�  �Fools�  �Of that fancy he

will soon weary  and then�察�I�察�who alone am faithful to him��

shall reap my reward。  But do not dally too long�察�Reginald�察�for

my charms are ripe�察�Reginald�察�and already they are decaying。 

Better secure me ere I have gone too far��





                No。 11。 Sad is that woman's lot

                     ��Recitative and Solo��

                              Jane



JANE      Sad is that woman's lot who�察�year by year��

          Sees�察�one by one�察�her beauties disappear��

          When Time�察�grown weary of her heart´drawn sighs��

          Impatiently begins to dim her eyes��

          Compelled�察�at last�察�in life's uncertain gloamings��

          To wreathe her wrinkled brow with well´saved

               ;combings�察�

          Reduced�察�with rouge�察�lip´shade�察�and pearly grey��

          To ;make up; for lost time as best she may��



          Silvered is the raven hair��

               Spreading is the parting straight��

          Mottled the complexion fair��

               Halting is the youthful gait��

          Hollow is the laughter free��

               Spectacled the limpid eye��

          Little will be left of me

               In the coming bye and bye��

          Little will be left of me

               In the coming bye and bye��



          Fading is the taper waist��

               Shapeless grows the shapely limb��

          And although severely laced��

               Spreading is the figure trim��



          Stouter than I used to be��

               Still more corpulent grow I

          There will be too much of me

               In the coming by and bye��

          There will be too much of me

               In the coming by and bye��



                          ��Exit�察�L。�察�carrying her violoncello。��



��Enter GROSVENOR�察�R。�察�followed by MAIDENS�察�two and two�察�playing

     on archaic instruments as in Act I。  He is reading

     abstractedly�察�as BUNTHORNE did in Act I�察�and pays no

     attention to them。��





            No。 12。 Turn�察�oh�察�turn in this direction

                            ��Chorus��

                            Maidens



          Turn�察�oh�察�turn in this direction��

               Shed�察�oh�察�shed a gentle smile��

          With a glance of sad perfection��

               Our poor fainting hearts beguile��



          On such eyes as maidens cherish

               Let thy fond adorers gaze��

          Or incontinently perish��

               In their all´consuming rays��

          Or incontinently perish��

               In their all´consuming rays��



��GROSVENOR sits�察�R。�察�they group themselves around him in a

     formation similar to that which opens Act I。��



GROS。 ��aside�察�not looking up�А �The old�察�old tale。  How

rapturously these maidens love me�察�and how hopelessly�  。�He looks

up。�А �Oh�察�Patience�察�Patience�察�with the love of thee in my heart��

what have I for these poor mad maidens but an unvalued pity�拭�

Alas�察�they will die of hopeless love for me�察�as I shall die of

hopeless love for thee��



ANGELA  Sir�察�will it please you read to us��



GROS。 ��sighing�А �Yes�察�child�察�if you will。  What shall I read��



ANGELA  One of your own poems。



GROS。  One of my own poems�拭 �Better not�察�my child。  They will not

cure thee of thy love。  ��All sigh。��



ELLA  Mr。 Bunthorne used to read us a poem of his own every day。



SAPHIR  And�察�to do him justice�察�he read them extremely well。



GROS。  Oh�察�did he so�拭 �Well�察�who am I that I should take upon

myself to withhold my gifts from you�拭 �What am I but a trustee�拭�

Here is a decalet  a pure and simple thing�察�a very daisy  a

babe might understand it。  To appreciate it�察�it is not necessary

to think of anything at all。



ANGELA  Let us think of nothing at all��



GROS。 ��reciting��



          Gentle Jane was as good as gold��

          She always did as she was told��

          She never spoke when her mouth was full��

          Or caught bluebottles their legs to pull��

          Or spilt plum jam on her nice new frock��

          Or put white mice in the eight´day clock��

          Or vivisected her last new doll��

          Or fostered a passion for alcohol。

     And when she grew up she was given in marriage

     To a first´class earl who keeps his carriage��



GROS。  I believe I am right in saying that there is not one word

in that decalet which is calculated to bring the blush of shame

to the cheek of modesty。



ANGELA  Not one�察�it is purity itself。



GROS。  Here's another。
