Fair is Rose as bright May day	Every day, as the days roll on (Zorah)	He ruthlessly employed in persecuting witches (Dame Hannah with bridesmaids)	And on the day he said that say, in agony he died! (Dame Hannah)
They eat peas with a knife!	Now tell me pray, and tell me true (Robin and Rose Maybud)	Poor little man! Poor little maid!	From the briny sea comes young Richard, all victorious!
I shipped, d'ye see (Dick Dauntless)	The battle's roar is over, O my love!	Daft Madge! Crazy Meg! Mad Margaret!	To a garden full of posies
Welcome gentry	Oh, why am I moody and sad? (Sir Despard Murgatroyd)	Hail the bride of seventeen summers	I claim young Robin as my elder brother!
Embraces his bride (Finale Act 1)	I am the spectre of the late Sir Roderic Murgatroyd)	We were the victims of circumstances! (Sir Despard and Mad Margaret)	The international curtain call!
