SCENE II:
Wood
[Enter Fiends, dragging Babes. They threaten to kill them, but are disarmed by their pleading; they weep, and sing.]
Fiends. Two remorseless fiends are we,
As anybody can see.
But even for a villain
There may come a time when Barkis ain't willin',
Though remorseless fiends are we,
As anybody can see.
[Dance and exeunt.]
