DUET.—Signor O'Diddle & Sir Udolpho.

[Sweet lays they'll raise in praise of Sir Udolpho]

Signor O'Diddle.
Sweet lays they'll raise in praise of Sir Udolpho,
To grace and taste, who ne'er yet was at all foe.

Sir Udolpho.
And to Signor O'Diddle,
Who'll go down the middle
To sound of the fiddle,
And pleasantly sidle
In elegance idle,
With zeal none can bridle,
Adown the dance.

Ambo.
Yes, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Cheerily, cheerily, merrily, merrily,
Dance, merrily dance, merrily dance, cheerily prance;

11

Oh! bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo,
Trippingly, skippingly, merrily, cheerily,
Grace the dance!
Sweet lays, &c.
