ENTER THE TURKISH KNIGHT

Open your doors , and let me in ,

I hope your favors I shall win ;

Whether I rise or whether I fall,

ni do my best to please you ail.

SI George is hère, and swears lie will come in. And , if he does, I know he 'Il pierce my skin. If you will not believe what I do say, Let Father Christmas come in — clear the way.

{Retires.)

ENTER FATHER CHRISTMAS

Hère come ï, old Father Christmas,

Welcome or welcome not , I hope old Father Christmas Will never be forgot.

I am not come hère to laugh or to jeer, But for a pocketfull of money, and a skinfull of béer, If you will not believe what I do say, Come in the king of Egypt — clear the way.
