SCENE CHANGES TO THE SUN—

SCENE CHANGES TO THE SUN—

Enter Chloe and a chorus of ploughboys.

Chloe Where am I? At Hounslow.—Where go I? To London—. What to do? To be married—. Unto whom? Unto Strephon. Who is he? A Youth. Then I will sing a song.

SONG

I go to Town And when I come down, I shall be married to Streephon.* And that to me will be fun.

[* Note the two e’s]

Chorus

Be fun, be fun, be fun, And that to me will be fun.

Enter Cook—

Cook Here is the bill of fare.

Chloe reads 2 Ducks, a leg of beef, a stinking partridge, and a tart.—I will have the leg of beef and the partridge.

Exit Cook.

And now I will sing another song.

SONG

I am going to have my dinner, After which I shan’t be thinner, I wish I had here Strephon For he would carve the partridge if it should be a tough one.

Chorus

Tough one, tough one, tough one For he would carve the partridge if it Should be a tough one.

Exit Chloe and Chorus.—
