THIRD MOVEMENT

[a. What Shall I Do?]
TEMP: What shall I do? Let's leave him.
I swear, this is a very shallow man,
Methinks his complexion a little low.
What shall I do? Let's leave him.
His eyes fade into something strange.
I begin to have thoughts of my own.
What shall I do? Let's leave him.
Shortly shall all my labours end—
Freedom! Charge your cell yourself.


[b. Mr. Jerk]
CHOIR: Mr. Jerk. You are like
To lose your jerk rewards.
The business project dies.
Tis best we quit this place.

PROSPER: The suck-ups set upon me like hedgehogs
Like hedgehogs which prick my foot,
Prick my foot, wound, torment me.

CHOIR: This is strange work,
Thin, baseless, insubstantial.
Mr. Jerk. You are like
To lose your jerk rewards.

PROSPER: Why this ghastly look? What’s the matter?
The matter - My fortunes droop
Droop, incline to dullness.

CHOIR: Mr. Jerk. You are like
To lose your jerk rewards.
The business project dies.
Tis best we quit this place.
This is strange work,
Thin, baseless, insubstantial.

PROSPER: I find you solemn and strange. The credit report?
Report now? You puppets rejoice
Rejoice to hear me dimm’d.

CHOIR: Mr. Jerk.


[c. Guide Us Out]
TEMP: Merrily, merrily, I shalt
have freedom presently.
Presently. Merrily, merrily.

CHOIR: Guide us out this company.
Freedom.
