Frederic.
Hush, hush! not a word; I see a light inside!
The Major-General comes, so quickly hide!

Pirates.
Yes, yes, the Major-General comes!

Pirates conceal themselves. Exeunt KING, FREDERIC, SAMUEL, and RUTH.

Police.
Yes, yes, the Major-General comes!

General.
(entering in dressing-gown, carrying a light)
Yes, yes, the Major-General comes!

Tormented with the anguish dread
Of falsehood unatoned,
I lay upon my sleepless bed,
And tossed and turned and groaned.
The man who finds his conscience ache
No peace at all enjoys;
And as I lay in bed awake,
I thought I heard a noise.

Chorus.
He thought he heard a noise - ha! ha!

General.
No, all is still
In dale, on hill;
My mind is set at ease -
So still the scene,
It must have been
The sighing of the breeze.
