PROSPECTS OF A HAPPY PATH OF EMPERORS.
A Duet.
Nicholas—Francis.
| Both. | { | Europe's little Farm we'll keep And our little girls and boys, Like little pigs or sheep, Serve, dare they make a noise! |
| Nich. | The trials I'll conduct; | |
| Fran. | The gaols I'll construct. | |
| Nich. | In curbing bard and sage My lash will prove efficient; | |
| Fran. | My halter, I'll engage, Will quell the ill-conditioned. | |
| Nich. | Now, slave, for back the knout! | |
| Fran. | Now, dog, the rope for neck; | |
| Both. | { | And
that's the way, no doubt, To keep mankind in check. |
| Nich. | K with an N, N with an O, O with a U, U with a T; | |
| Fran. | And a R and an O and a P and an E; | |
| Nich. | K. N. O. U. T.; | |
| Fran. | R. O. P. and E.; | |
| Both. | { | When
we've trampled down the Free, Oh what jolly, glorious fun 'twill be! |
