| So brother I am out and yu are in | B |
| Farewell farewell to all my splendor bright | C |
| Yet just to know 'tis you dear Agar Wynne | B |
| Tinges my melancholy with delight | C |
| Indeed I find it very hard to go | D |
| Yet pleasure surely mingles with my woe | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Ay you are in and I am in the soup | E |
| For me the shades for you the favored place | F |
| Yet doth it cheer me when my spirits droop | E |
| Just to behold yur ever welcome face | F |
| Aside But by the gods just give me half a show | D |
| The merest chance to kick and out you go | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| AGAR | G |
| Sweet Frazer though I ill disguise my joy | H |
| In winning thus to fame despite my foes | I |
| It pains me to the heart my dear old boy | H |
| To think 'tis you whom I must so depose | I |
| Nay but it brings the hot tears to mine eyes | J |
| To know that you must sink that I may rise | J |
| - | |
| Agar is in and Charles is out you say | K |
| Tis sure a cruel fortune wills it so | D |
| My joy is clouded o'er with grief to day | K |
| Because my dear old friend you have to go | D |
| Aside But give me strength and I shall scheme and plan | L |
| To keep you out for ever if I can | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| CHARLES | A |
| Dear Agar when I gaze into your eyes | J |
| Those kindly orbs whose depths so well I know | D |
| Nay I am filled with wonder and surprise | J |
| That I did not resign long years ago | D |
| For who is Charles to hold a place on high | M |
| When such a man as Agar Wynne is by | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| Indeed the sorrow I so lately felt | N |
| Has given place to purest joy alone | O |
| For now at last discerning Fate has dealt | N |
| Bare justice and you sit upon my throne | O |
| Aside But give me half a chance that's all I crave | P |
| I'll dig with joy your Legislative grave | P |
| - | |
| - | |
| AGAR | G |
| Nay rare Charles Edward 'tis your blind regard | Q |
| For him you love prompts that unselfish speech | R |
| Ah would that Fate blind Fate so doubly hard | Q |
| Had never placed these sweets within my reach | R |
| If 'twere not for my Party friend I'd say | K |
| 'Cleave you to office Charles I will away ' | - |
| - | |
| - | |
| Forgive these tears for mow my joy has flown | O |
| And in its stead comepangs of dull despair | S |
| Ah could I but contrive my friend mine own | O |
| To yield you of my triumph en'en a share | S |
| Aside Now by the Sacred Fuse you've got the sack | T |
| And I'll raise Cain to stop your gettingback | T |
| - | |
| - | |
| CHARLES | A |
| Agar These tears are tears of sorrow rare | S |
| My past neglect of you brings keen regret | U |
| - | |
| - | |
| AGAR | G |
| Dear Charles if you've s kerchief you could spare | S |
| Pray lend it me Mine own is sopping wet | U |
| Both aside Now having pulled his leg I shall retire | V |
| And to confound him with my friends conspire | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| Exit both apparently in tears but eyeing each other furtively from | W |
| behind their respective handkerchiefs | X |
| UNIMPORTANT CLERK Advancing | T |
| Well spare my days Of all the blessed guff | Y |
| And if next week Wynne's out and Frazer's in | B |
| They'll probably dish up the same old stuff | Y |
| While honest men can only stand and grin | B |
| More change More toil More worry for our sins | Z |
| A plague on all their childish Outs and INs | Z |
| - | |
| - | |
| Now must we shed the Labor livery | A2 |
| And learn new manners in the Lib'ral school | B2 |
| And mayhap in a twelve month we shall be | A2 |
| Once more returned unto the Labor rule | B2 |
| Oh that the gods would blast such tricks as these | C2 |
| And send this land Elective Ministries | C2 |
| - | |
| Bell rings Exit | D2 |
| CURTAIN | E2 |
