Part 24

Birb. I’ll start a public company in town; Turn a strict man of business--try stock-jobbery On the Exchange! My cry--exchange no robbery.

Song and Chorus.--AIR, “One Bumper at Parting.”

Birb. A company starting, though many Have tried it and found it no go; I’ll endeavor at turning a penny, We won’t say if honest, or no.

Yussuf. Guess I’m mortal sick of slave driving, Respectable dodges pay best; So if this here company’s thriving. I’m there like a shot, with the rest.

Conrad. A real model husband I mean to be; All my used-up-ishness past, I forswear, since the world I have seen to be Not quite so worthless at last, One favor I’d ask, do not spurn it, your Aid, I’m quite strange to it yet-- Do you know a good place to buy furniture. Or a snug cottage to let?

Enter PASHA and GULNARE, R.

Pasha. Here, stop, I intend, by the wig o’ me, In this improvement to share, Henceforward renouncing polygamy, Stick to my own dear Gulnare.

Gul. New hopes in my breast do you kindle; I’ll make you the happiest of men; Having gained all I wished by one swindle, I’ll never deceive you again.

Serena. Kind friends, in this great reform movement, No share for yourselves will you find, In your case there’s no room for improvement; But be--as you ever were--kind. And now for the home of the Peri-- Bright scenes, where we’re bidden to sup; But, remember, the brightest look dreary, Unless by your smiles lighted up. [Repeat last verse in chorus.

The scene opens and discovers

SCENE VIII.--The Home of the Peri and Golden Gates of the Gardens of Perennial Spring.

SUBMARINA appears, and the usual transformation of the characters takes place--Two Clowns, Harlequin, Pantaloon, three whalebone sprites, and two Columbines.
