ideaif it's only a mere sketchas to how you would play it�拭�

It would be really interestingto meto know your conception

ofofthe part of my wife。

      JULIA。  How would I play it�拭 �Now�察�let me seelet me see。

��Considering。��  Ah�察�I have it��



                        BALLADJULIA。



            How would I play this part

                        The Grand Duke's Bride��

            All rancour in my heart

                        I'd duly hide

                  I'd drive it from my recollection

                  And 'whelm you with a mock affection��

                  Well calculated to defy detection

            That's how I'd play this part

                        The Grand Duke's Bride。



            With many a winsome smile

                        I'd witch and woo��

            With gay and girlish guile

                        I'd frenzy you

                  I'd madden you with my caressing��

                  Like turtle�察�her first love confessing

                  That it was ;mock;�察�no mortal would be

guessing��

            With so much winsome wile

                        I'd witch and woo��



            Did any other maid

                        With you succeed��

            I'd pinch the forward jade

                        I would indeed��

                  With jealous frenzy agitated

                  ��Which would�察�of course�察�be simulated����

                  I'd make her wish she'd never been created

            Did any other maid

                        With you succeed��



            And should there come to me��

                        Some summers hence��

            In all the childish glee

                        Of innocence��

                  Fair babes�察�aglow with beauty vernal��

                  My heart would bound with joy diurnal��

                  This sweet display of sympathy maternal��

            Well�察�that would also be

                        A mere pretence��



            My histrionic art

                        Though you deride��

            That's how I'd play that part

                        The Grand Duke's Bride��



                              ENSEMBLE。

��Dance。��



Enter all the Chorus with LUDWIG�察�NOTARY��

and LISAall greatly agitated。



EXCITED CHORUS。



      My goodness me�  �What shall we do �拭 �Why�察�what a dreadful

            situation��

      ��To LUD。��  It's all your fault�察�you booby youyou lump of

            indiscrimination��

      I'm sure I don't know where to goit's put me into such a

            tetter

      But this at all events I knowthe sooner we are off�察�the

            better��



ERN。  What means this agitato�拭 �What d'ye seek��

      As your Grand Duke elect I bid you speak��



                      SONGLUDWIG。



      Ten minutes since I met a chap

            Who bowed an easy salutation

      Thinks I�察 �This gentleman�察�mayhap��

            Belongs to our Association。;

                  But�察�on the whole��

                        Uncertain yet��

                  A sausage´roll

                        I took and eat

      That chap replied ��I don't embellish��

      By eating three with obvious relish。



CHORUS ��angrily��。       Why�察�gracious powers��

                        No chum of ours

                  Could eat three sausage´rolls with relish��



LUD。  Quite reassured�察�I let him know

            Our ploteach incident explaining��

      That stranger chuckled much�察�as though

            He thought me highly entertaining。

                  I told him all��

                        Both bad and good��

                  I bade him call

                        He said he would��

      I added muchthe more I muckled��

      The more that chuckling chummy chuckled��



ALL ��angrily��。    A bat could see

                  He couldn't be

            A chum of ours if he chuckled��



LUD。  Well�察�as I bowed to his applause��

            Down dropped he with hysteric bellow

      And that seemed right enough�察�because

            I am a devilish funny fellow。

                  Then suddenly��

                        As still he squealed��

                  It flashed on me

                        That I'd revealed

      Our plot�察�with all details effective��

      To Grand Duke Rudolph's own detective��



ALL。        What folly fell��

            To go and tell

      Our plot to any one's detective��



CHORUS。



��Attacking LUDWIG。��  You booby dense

                  You oaf immense��

                  With no pretence

                  To common sense��

                  A stupid muff

                  Who's made of stuff

                  Not worth a puff

                  Of candle´snuff��



Pack up at once and off we go�察�unless we're anxious to exhibit

Our fairy forms all in a row�察�strung up upon the Castle gibbet��



��Exeunt Chorus。 Manent LUDWIG�察�LISA��

ERNEST�察�JULIA�察�and NOTARY。

      JULIA。  Well�察�a nice mess you've got us into�  �There's an

end of our precious plot�  �All uppopfizzlebangdone for��

      LUD。  Yes�察�butha� �ha��fancy my choosing the Grand Duke's

private detective�察�of all men�察�to make a confidant of�  �When you

come to think of it�察�it's really devilish funny��

      ERN。 ��angrily��。  When you come to think of it�察�it's

extremely injudicious to admit into a conspiracy every

pudding´headed baboon who presents himself��

      LUD。  YesI should never do that。 If I were chairman of

this gang�察�I should hesitate to enrol any baboon who couldn't

produce satisfactory credentials from his last Zoological

Gardens。

      LISA。  Ludwig is far from being a baboon。  Poor boy�察�he

could not help giving us awayit's his trusting naturehe was

deceived。

      JULIA ��furiously��。  His trusting nature�  。�To LUDWIG。��  Oh��

I should like to talk to you in my own language for five

minutesonly five minutes�  �I know some good�察�strong�察�energetic

English remarks that would shrivel your trusting nature into

raisinsonly you wouldn't understand them��

      LUD。  Here we perceive one of the disadvantages of a

neglected education��

      ERN。 ��to JULIA��。  And I suppose you'll never be my Grand

Duchess now��

      JULIA。  Grand Duchess�拭 �My good friend�察�if you don't

produce

the piece how can I play the part��

      ERN。  True。 ��To LUDWIG。��  You see what you've done。

      LUD。  But�察�my dear sir�察�you don't seem to understand that

the man ate three sausage´rolls。  Keep that fact steadily before

you。  Three large sausage´rolls。

      JULIA。  Bah��Lots of people eat sausage´rolls who are not

conspirators。

      LUD。  Then they shouldn't。  It's bad form。  It's not the

game。  When one of the Human Family proposes to eat a

sausage´roll�察�it is his duty to ask himself�察 �Am I a

conspirator�拭─ �And if�察�on examination�察�he finds that he is not a

conspirator�察�he is bound in honour to select some other form of

refreshment。

      LISA。  Of course he is。  One should always play the game。

��To NOTARY�察�who has been smiling placidly through this。��  What

are you grinning at�察�you greedy old man��

      NOT。  Nothingdon't mind me。  It is always amusing to the

legal mind to see a parcel of laymen bothering themselves about a

matter which to a trained lawyer presents no difficulty whatever。

      ALL。  No difficulty��

      NOT。  None whatever�  �The way out of it is quite simple。

      ALL。  Simple��

      NOT。  Certainly�  �Now attend。  In the first place�察�you two

men fight a Statutory Duel。

      ERN。  A Statutory Duel��

      JULIA。  A Stat´tat´tatutory Duel�  �Ach� �what a crack´jaw

language this German is��

      LUD。  Never heard of such a thing。

      NOT。  It is true that the practice has fallen into abeyance

through disuse。  But all the laws of Pfennig Halbpfennig run for

a hundred years�察�when they die a natural death�察�unless�察�in the

meantime�察�they have been revived for another century。  The Act

that institutes the Statutory Duel was passed a hundred years

ago�察�and as it has never been revived�察�it expires to´morrow。  So

you're just in time。

      JULIA。  But what is the use of talking to us about

Statutory

Duels when we none of us know what a Statutory Duel is��

      NOT。  Don't you�拭 �Then I'll explain。



                        SONGNOTARY。



            About a century since��

                  The code of the duello

                        To sudden death

                        For want of breath

                  Sent many a strapping fellow。

            The then presiding Prince

                  ��Who useless bloodshed hated����

                        He passed an Act��

                        Short and compact��

                  Which may be briefly stated。

            Unlike the complicated laws
