"With fury deep we burn"
Enter Scaphio and Phantis, now dressed as judges in red and ermine robes and undress wigs. They come down stage melodramatically — working together.

| Phantis. |
| We think it is our turn. |
| Scaphio. |
| We do! |
| Phantis. |
| We think our turn has come. |
| Scaphio. |
| We do! |
| Phantis. |
| These Englishmen, they must prepare To seek at once their native air. The King as heretofore, we swear, Shall be beneath our thumb! |
| Scaphio. |
| He shall — |
| Phantis. |
| Shall be beneath out thumb! |
| Scaphio. |
| He shall! |
| Both. (with great energy) |
| For this mustn't be, and this won't do. If you'll back me, then I'll back you; No, this won't do, No, this mustn't be. No this mustn't be, and this won't do. |
Enter the King.
| King Paramount. |
| No, this won't do! |
