No. 18 - Finale Act II
| Capt. Sheridan & Lieutenant: | |
| Our pris'ner is the Prince, | |
| Soldiers: | 'Tis he! |
| Sheridan & Lieut.: | And highly rewarded we will be: Come, let's rejoice, merrily all. We have taken him. |
| Soldiers: | We have taken him, he is ours! |
| Prince: | No Prince am I, I must deny! |
| Sheridan: | Your costume is humble, your rank is high. |
| Prince: | I'm but a lad of low degree, |
| Sheridan: | You're little like royalty, I agree. |
| Chorus: | He's little like royalty, we agree. |
| Servants: | And yet the Prince is he! To the camp with you now, Take the scamp with you now. |
| Sheridan & Lieut.: | He's caught at last! |
| Chorus: | Our pris'ner is the Prince, 'tis he! And well rewarded we will surely be: |
| Prince: | No Prince am I. All I deny. |
| Chorus: | For long we have sought him, But now we have caught him at last! |
| Sheridan: | He's ours at last; so ho! Come, let us go! News of the capture The camp will enrapture, my lads; so ho! |
| Ensemble: | Come, let us go! News of the capture The camp will enrapture, my lads! Hurrah! Hurrah! |
| Chorus: | We've caught the Prince! |
| Principals: | Hurrah! Hurrah! |
| Chorus: | We've caught the Prince! Hurrah! Hur... |
| Highlanders | (off stage) Claymore! Claymore! Hech! Ho! |
| Chorus: | How now? |
| Highlanders: | Claymore! Claymore! Hech! Ho! |
| Chorus: | What means this call? |
| Highlanders: | Claymore! Claymore! Hech! Ho! |
| Chorus: | Who calls? |
| Highlanders: | Claymore! Claymore! Hech! Ho! |
| Chorus: | So ho! To his rescue they come. To arms! |
| Rob Roy: | Highlanders, there are your foes, Give them a taste of your steel! Captive is he who should ever be free; Up! at them, ye sons of the leal! |
| Lochiel: | Highlanders, would ye stand by, Victims of fear and alarms, While comrades are led to a fate that we dread; Now a rescue, my lads, to your arms! |
| Highlanders: | To arms! |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Then swing the Claymore and smite the targe! |
| Tammas & Highlanders: | |
| To arms! | |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Then swing the claymore and sound the charge! |
| All: | Sound the charge! |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | With a clang and a clash Let the good blades flash, With a clang and a clash Let the good blades flash, And the craven foe will run away. |
| Janet & others: | Our Prince we'll save! Swing the claymore, my laddies, and smite the targe! |
| Rob Roy & others: | Then swing the claymore
and sound the charge! To arms! |
| Highlanders: | With a clang and a clash Let the good blades flash, With a clang and a clash Let the good blades flash, And the craven foe will run away. |
| Janet: | Ah, a captive our Prince will be! |
| Chorus: | Fight on, my lads! |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | We'll strike for Fatherland and hame! |
| Janet & others: | Too late! All now is lost. |
| Flora: | Hold! I command you, both my friends and foes! Down with your weapons! Down with your weapons! I'll the truth disclose. |
| Highlanders: | 'Tis Flora! |
| Janet & Prince: | 'Tis she! |
| Highlanders: | What would she do? |
| Chorus: | Who can this be? |
| Highlanders: | 'Tis she! |
| Chorus: | Who can this be? |
| Flora: | Your pris'ner is my servant: Now set him free! You come, you come to seek Prince Charles, And I am he! |
| Soldiers & Servants: | Ha! It is the Prince! |
| Rob Roy & Lochiel: | Can it be? |
| Janet & others: | She shall not go to the camp away. |
| Capt. Sheridan: | Which of the two the Prince can be? One I must take, and one set free. You shall decide us, tell us and guide us, Which of the two shall go with me, now tell? |
| All: | Which one? |
| Mayor: | I can upset all you have planned, But if you'll promise me your hand, I'll manage it neatly, very completely. |
| Flora: | Silence then! and accept my hand. |
| Mayor: | Well then, gentlemen, there's your man! |
| Capt. Sheridan: | Arrest him! |
| Highlanders: | Perfidy! all is lost! |
| Chorus: | Arrest him! |
| Highlanders: | Treachery to our cause! |
| Chorus: | Arrest him! |
| Capt. Sheridan: | Now up, boys, and away, boys! To a double quick march away; No longer can we stay, boys, We must get to the camp today, boys, We must get to the camp, must get to the camp today. |
| All: | To the camp they'll take her now. |
| Chorus: | Now up, boys, and away, boys! To a double quick march away; |
| Highlanders: | We are true and will save thee still, We will save thee still, we'll save thee still! |
| Chorus: | To the camp today, to the camp, Away, to camp! We have the prize! |
| Highlanders: | They'll not keep their prize; We'll rob them of their prize; |
| Principals: | We will set thee free, Ay, we will haste to rescue thee; |
| Chorus: | Arrest him, carry him, carry him; Readily, steadily, to our camp away, to camp, |
| Highlanders: | The Prince! We are here to save, They have the prize at last, We will save him still! |
| Capt. Sheridan: | To camp with him away. So readily, steadily, readily, steadily on. |
| Highlanders: | Alas our cause is lost! Alas! our cause is lost, is lost, We will save! |
