    Act 1
    Sung By
    When a maiden loves she sits and sighs
    People
    Tower Warders, under orders
    People and Warders
    This is the autumn of our life
    Solo Warder
    When our gallant Norman foes
    Dame Carruthers and Warders
    Alas! I waver to and fro
    Phoebe Meryll, Leonard Meryll and Sergeant Meryll
    Is life a boon?
    Colonel Fairfax
    Here's a man of jollity
    Chorus
    I have a song to sing, O!
    Elsie Maynard and Jack Point
    How say you, maiden, will you wed?
    Elsie Maynard, Jack Point and Sir Richard Cholmondeley
    I've jibe and joke and quip and crank
    Jack Point
    'Tis done! I am a bride!
    Elsie Maynard
    Were I thy bride
    Phoebe Meryll
    Oh, Sergeant Meryll, is it true-
    Act 2
    Sung By
    Night has spread her pall once more
    Chorus
    Warders are ye?
    Dame Carruthers
    Oh! a private buffoon is a lighthearted loon
    Jack Point
    Hereupon we're both agreed
    Jack Point and Wilfred Shadbolt
    Free from his fetters grim
    Colonel Fairfax
    Strange adventure!
    Kate, Dame Carruthers, Colonel Fairfax and Sergeant Meryll
    Hark! What was that, sir?
    Elsie Maynard, Phoebe Meryll, Dame Carruthers, Colonel Fairfax, Wilfred Shadbolt, Jack Point, Sir Richard Cholmondeley, Sergeant Meryll and Chorus
    A man who would woo a fair maid
    Elsie Maynard, Phoebe Meryll and Colonel Fairfax
    When a wooer goes a-wooing
    Elsie Maynard, Phoebe Meryll, Colonel Fairfax and Jack Point
    Rapture! Rapture!
    Dame Carruthers and Sergeant Meryll
    Comes the pretty young bride
