[_They dance round_ CITIZEN NUPKINS, _singing the following words to the tune of the_ "_Carmagnole_": _What's this that the days and the days have done_? _Man's lordship over man hath gone_. _How fares it, then, with high and low_? _Equal on earth, they thrive and grow_. _Bright is the sun for everyone_; _Dance we, dance we the Carmagnole_. _How deal ye, then, with pleasure and pain_? _Alike we share and bear the twain_. _And what's the craft whereby ye live_? _Earth and man's work to all men give_. _How crown ye excellence of worth_? _With leave to serve all men on earth_. _What gain that lordship's past and done_? _World's wealth for all and every one_. [FREEMAN _and_ NUPKINS _come to the front_. * * * * * _J. F_. Well, Nupkins, you see you have got the better of us damned Socialists after all. For in times past you used to bully us and send us to prison and hang us, and we had to put up with it; and now you and yours are no longer masters, there _are_ no masters, and there is nobody to bully you. How do you like it, old fellow? (_clapping him on the shoulder_.) _C. N_. (_bursting into tears_). A world without lawyers!--oh, dear! oh, dear! To think that I should have to dig potatoes and see everybody happy! _J. F_. Well, Nupkins, you must bear it. And for my part, I can't be very sorry that you feel it so keenly. When scoundrels lament that they can no longer be scoundrels for lack of opportunity, it is certain that THE TABLES ARE TURNED. THE END.
