After much debate internal,
I on Lady Jane decide,
Saphir now may take the Col'nel,
Angy be the Major's bride!

Bunthorne.
In that case unprecedented,
Single I must live and die —
I shall have to be contented
With a tulip or lily!

Saphir, Ella, Angela, Duke, Colonel.
He will have to be contented
With a tulip or lily!
All.

In that case unprecedented,
Single he/I must live and die —
He will/I shall have to be contented
With a tulip or lily!

Greatly pleased with one another,
To get married we/they decide.
Each of us/them will wed the other,
Nobody be Bunthorne's Bride!

Dance.
