A room a room I do presume ... |
Activity of youth ... |
Activity of age ... |
|
|
I am King Alfred ... |
I am a bold French Officer, Beau Slasher is my name ... |
.... who complains about the activities of the Roast Beefs |
|
|
Beau Slasher challenges King Alfred to battle ...
|
... who alas ... |
... is slain. |
|
|
Who can help him? |
Here is £5 to any man who can help .... |
.... which enlists the help of Dr Squires (Good).... who ... |
|
|
.... restores him to life. |
King Alfred now challenges Beau Slasher ... |
.... who in turn is slain but is beyond the help of the Noble Dr. |
|
|
In comes Jack Vinney .... |
.... one penneth of pidgeons milk, together with .... |
... the blood of a dying donkey ... but does not work! |
|
|
. .. but, with the help of the rest of the players, ... |
.. Jack restores Beau Slasher to life. |
In comes Happy Jack ... collecting funds for charity! |
|
|
Old Father Beelzebub completes the performance ....
|
.... with a speech on current affairs of the year. |
