Finale—“La Reine des Roses”—Valse.
All the world who strive to please
Has a difficult task,
And indulgence may ask
On occasions such as these.
When the world to good humour's inclined,
Don't say that to bring the Globe here
We have travelled quite out of our sphere.
All the world is a stage,
And we live in an age
When to move it has made up its mind;
Then to give our stage new life,
Do the Globe a good turn,
And its progress to learn,
Nightly round it as we steer,
Let us see “all the world and his wife.”

CURTAIN.
