��Sir Marmaduke enters。  Lady Sangazure and he exhibit signs of

CHO。        With heart and with voice

                  Let us welcome this mating��

            Leave them here to rejoice��

                  With true love palpitating��

                       Alexis the brave��

                       And the lovely Aline��

                                          ��Exeunt all but Alexis

and Aline。��



      ALEXIS  At last we are alone�  �My darling�察�you are now

irrevocably betrothed to me。  Are you not very�察�very happy��

      ALINE  Oh�察�Alexis�察�can you doubt it�拭 �Do I not love you

beyond all on earth�察�and am I not beloved in return�拭 �Is not true

love�察�faithfully given and faithfully returned�察�the source of

every earthly joy��


      ALEXIS  Of that there can be no doubt。  Oh�察�that the world

could be persuaded of the truth of that maxim�  �Oh�察�that the

world would break down the artificial barriers of rank�察�wealth��

education�察�age�察�beauty�察�habits�察�taste�察�and temper�察�and recognize

the glorious principle�察�that in marriage alone is to be found the

panacea for every ill��

      ALINE  Continue to preach that sweet doctrine�察�and you will

succeed�察�oh�察�evangel of true happiness��

      ALEXIS  I hope so�察�but as yet the cause progresses but

slowly。  Still I have made some converts to the principle�察�that

men and women should be coupled in matrimony without distinction

of rank。  I have lectured on the subject at Mechanics'

Institutes�察�and the mechanics were unanimous in favour of my

views。  I have preached in workhouses�察�beershops�察�and Lunatic

Asylums�察�and I have been received with enthusiasm。  I have

addressed navvies on the advantages that would accrue to them if

they married wealthy ladies of rank�察�and not a navvy dissented��

      ALINE  Noble fellows�  �And yet there are those who hold that

the uneducated classes are not open to argument�  �And what do the

countesses say��

      ALEXIS  Why�察�at present�察�it can't be denied�察�the aristocracy

hold aloof。

      ALINE  Ah�察�the working man is the true Intelligence after

all��

      ALEXIS  He is a noble creature when he is quite sober。  Yes��

Aline�察�true happiness comes of true love�察�and true love should be

independent of external influences。  It should live upon itself

and by itselfin itself love should live for love alone��



                         BALLADALEXIS



            Love feeds on many kinds of food�察�I know��

                  Some love for rank�察�some for duty��

            Some give their hearts away for empty show��

                  And others for youth and beauty。

            To love for money all the world is prone��

                  Some love themselves�察�and live all lonely��

            Give me the love that loves for love alone

                  I love that loveI love it only��



            What man for any other joy can thirst��

                  Whose loving wife adores him duly��

            Want�察�misery�察�and care may do their worst��

                  If loving woman loves you truly。

            A lover's thoughts are ever with his own

                  None truly loved is ever lonely��

            Give me the love that loves for love alone

                  I love that loveI love it only��



      ALINE  Oh�察�Alexis�察�those are noble principles��

      ALEXIS  Yes�察�Aline�察�and I am going to take a desperate step

in support of them。  Have you ever heard of the firm of J。 W。

Wells & Co。�察�the old´established Family Sorcerers in St。 Mary

Axe��

      ALINE  I have seen their advertisement。

      ALEXIS  They have invented a philtre�察�which�察�if report may

be believed�察�is simply infallible。  I intend to distribute it

through the village�察�and within half an hour of my doing so there

will not be an adult in the place who will not have learnt the

secret of pure and lasting happiness。  What do you say to that��

      ALINE  Well�察�dear�察�of course a filter is a very useful thing

in a house�察�but still I don't quite see that it is the sort of

thing that places its possessor on the very pinnacle of earthly

joy。

      ALEXIS  Aline�察�you misunderstand me。  I didn't say a

filterI said a philtre。

      ALINE ��alarmed��  You don't mean a love´potion��

      ALEXIS  On the contraryI do mean a love potion。

      ALINE  Oh�察�Alexis�  �I don't think it would be right。  I

don't indeed。  And thena real magician�  �Oh�察�it would be

downright wicked。

      ALEXIS  Aline�察�is it�察�or is it not�察�a laudable object to

steep the whole village up to its lips in love�察�and to couple

them in matrimony without distinction of age�察�rank�察�or fortune��

      ALINE  Unquestionably�察�but

      ALEXIS  Then unpleasant as it must be to have recourse to

supernatural aid�察�I must nevertheless pocket my aversion�察�in

deference to the great and good end I have in view。  ��Calling��

Hercules。



                    ��Enter a Page from tent��



      PAGE  Yes�察�sir。

      ALEXIS  Is Mr。 Wells there��

      PAGE  He's in the tent�察�sirrefreshing。

      ALEXIS  Ask him to be so good as to step this way。

      PAGE  Yes�察�sir。                                           

��Exit Page��

      ALINE  Oh�察�but�察�Alexis�  �A real Sorcerer�  �Oh�察�I shall be

frightened to death��

      ALEXIS  I trust my Aline will not yield to fear while the

strong right arm of her Alexis is here to protect her。

      ALINE  It's nonsense�察�dear�察�to talk of your protecting me

with your strong right arm�察�in face of the fact that this Family

Sorcerer could change me into a guinea´pig before you could turn

round。

      ALEXIS  He could change you into a guinea´pig�察�no doubt�察�but

it is most unlikely that he would take such a liberty。  It's a

most respectable firm�察�and I am sure he would never be guilty of

so untradesmanlike an act。



                  ��Enter Mr。 Wells from tent��



      WELLS  Good day�察�sir。  ��Aline much terrified。��

      ALEXIS  Good dayI believe you are a Sorcerer。

      WELLS  Yes�察�sir�察�we practice Necromancy in all its branches。 

We've a choice assortment of wishing´caps�察�divining´rods��
