or, The merryman and his maid

Disc 1. Overture -- When maiden loves she sits and sighs -- Tower warders under orders -- When our gallant Norman foes -- Alas! I waver to and fro -- Is life a boon? -- Here's a man of jollity -- I have a song to sing, O -- How say you, maiden, will you wed -- I've jibe and joke and quip and crank -- 'Tis done! I am a bride -- Were I thy bride -- Oh, Sergeant Meryll, is it true -- Dids't thou not, oh, Leonard Meryll -- To thy fraternal care -- The prisoner comes to meet his doom(con't) Disc 2. Night has spread her pall once more -- Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon -- Hereupon we're both agreed -- Free from his fetters grim -- Strange adventure! -- Hark! what was that sir? -- A man who would woo a fair maid -- When a wooer goes a-wooing -- Rapture! Rapture! -- Comes the pretty young bride -- A laughing boy -- A jealous torment -- Is life a boon? (earlier version)
