SOLO (A 21),

(Zo another Air.)

“ All round my hat
I would have them bow and kneel, oh!”
(Such was the words which Gesler used to me to day ;)
“And if any body axes you,
The reason why I rears it—

You can tell ’em they may go to Bath, or further still away!”

[ He loses himself in a cadence, but is recalled to a sense
of duty.
CHORUS (resumed).
Bow! Bow! &c.

A 21. Haste to the pole!

[TELL crosses the stage, taking no notice of the hat.

Now, then, where are you off to?
TELL. Dinner.
