Act 5 — SCENE II: Wood

Fiends. Two remorseless fiends are we, As anybody can see. But even for a villain There may come a time when Barkis ain't willin', Though remorseless fiends are we, As anybody can see. [Dance and exeunt.]

Babes. We are poor little babes in the wood, And we've tried all the week to be good. But they've gone and left us here, And we really think it's a little bit queer, For we're poor little babes in the wood, And we've tried all the week to be good. [They lie down and die.] [Enter Robin, hopping.] Robin. I'm a tender-hearted robin, And this sad scene sets me sobbin'. So, to give my heart relief, I will cover them up with a little green leaf, Like a tender-hearted robin, Whom this sad scene sets a-sobbin'. [Covers Babes with leaves, and exit.] [Curtain] [Curtain rises again on all the performers, who sing] We are campers [or “comrades”] bold and true, And we've made this play for you. And if you like it not, Let us see you make a better one on the spot, For we're campers [or “comrades”] bold and true, And we've made this play for you. [Dance and Curtain.]
