Act I.—Entry of Priests and Victims for Sacrifice.

Air: "Night."

Hear us ye Immortals,
Look down from the portals
Of fair Olympus your Throne.
Come ye Aphrodite
Hera, Goddess Mighty,
List when your children bemoan.

Chorus:
Save us from the tribute dread
Must this Minotaur be fed
With Athenians youthful;
Each one but a toothful,
Must we ever consecrate
All the fairest of our State,
Must our youth the Minotaur placate :
Save them, Zeus, from their fate.

Forth now on the swift oars
Winged barks leave the dark shores;
Swiftly from Hellas they fly
Tribute to the Cretan,
Monster yet unbeaten.
Save them, O Zeus, ere they die.

Chorus:
Save us from the tribute dread
Must this Minotaur be fed
With Athenians youthful,
Each one but a toothful.
Must we ever consecrate
All the fairest of our State
Must our youth the Minotaur placate
Save them, Zeus, from their fate.

II.—Farewell to Theseus.

Air: "Angus Macdonald."

Prayer:
Ye Gods of Olympus
Lend him your aid;
Inspire him with wisdom
Athena the Maid.
Keep watch o'er the hero,
And bring him safe home,
For thou canst defend him,
Where e'er he may roam.
For thou canst defend him
Wheree'er lie may roam.

Chorus of Farewell:
Now hasten, O Theseus,
The proud ship frets to stay
The anchor is raised,
Hasten on and away;
Deliver from bondage,
To monster uncouth,
May fortune attend,
May fortune attend,
May fortune attend you,
So Godlike in youth.
May fortune attend you,
So Godlike in youth.

III.—Trio: Neuwrightis, Tempwhitis, Rampageou.

Air : "My Sweet Hortense."

Neuwrightis:
I am a most
Uncommon bird.
My name is Mayor Wright-o,
I do not boast,
But have you heard
About my famous fight-o?
When Man nix came,
That man of fame
I nto our Wellington-o,
My robes I would not don
For a civic reception.

Refrain:
Oh, oh, oh! Mp name's Mayor Wright,
I ain't good-looking, but I mean alright;
Before next election
I think that I'll pay dearly for that reception;
General elections ain't no treat
I'm rather scared that I'll Jose my seat.
Oh, oh, oh! I'm filled with fright,
That at the next election I won't be Mayor Wright

Rampageous:
Now I'm a man
Of intellect,
My name is Bernard Page-oh;
Among the clan
The great elect,
I am the big rampage-oh.
I play with skill,
But I can't fill
The Town Hall on Sundays-oh.
I'm always waiting for
That cry, encore! encore!
