1. Record 1. Side 1. Overture. Act 1. When maiden loves, she sits and sighs ; Tower warders, under orders ; This the autumn of our life ; When our gallant Norman foes ; Alas! I waver to and fro! ; Is life a boon? -- Record 2. Side 2. Act 1. (part 2). Here's a man of jollity ; I have a song to sing, O! ; How say you, maiden, will you wed? ; I've a jibe and joke ; 'Tis done! I am a bridge ; Were I thy bridge ; Oh, Seargeant Meryll, is it true? ; Ye tower warders ; Leonard Meryll ; Forbear, my friends ; Didst thou not, oh, Leonard Meryll ; Aye, hug him girl! -- Side 3. Act 1 (concl.). To thy fraternal care ; The prisooner comes to meet his doom ; Oh, Mercy, thou whose smile has shone ; My Lord, I know not how to tell ; As escort for the prisoner ; Now, by my troth, the news is fair ; All frenzied with despair -- Act 2. (pt. 1). Night has spread her pall once more ; Warders are ye? Up and down, and in an out; Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon ; Hereupon we're both agreed ; Free from his fetters grim -- Record 1. Side 4. Act 2 (concl.). Strange adventure! ; Hark! What was that, sir? ; Like a ghost his vigil keeping ; Hail the vallant fellow who ; A man who would woo a fair maid ; When a wooer goes a-wooing ; Comes the pretty young bride ; 'Tis said that joy in full perfection ; All thought of Leonard Meryll set aside.
