Part I (continued)

A I R VII. — old Fairy:

Keep it, prithee keep it, my kind, my generous

Boy;

And featly, nimbly use it, shou'd furly care

annoy.

Quick porting on a sun-beam, here potent

Towha sent me;

His charge "take care of Harlequin" and

pow'rful spells he lent me.

Be still Omai's valet, he

With kind regard

Shall well reward

Thy care and strict fidelity.

Let pity touch thy bosom thro' frolick and vagary,

And thou shalt ever find me thy true, thy

guardian fairy.

[The Scene ends with Omai's losing his Talisman and their going off to a Justice of Peace for its recovery.]

SCENE IV. The Justice Room, where Omai gets back his Talisman but loses one of his Royal Ensigns, which by some Magic Odour produces the Effects mentioned in the following

AIR VIII. — Justice, Captain, Constables and Men.

1st Con. Look here, please your worship,

this very fine thing;

My eye ! but it's fit for the knob of

a King.
