Fool to Let It Come to This! Lyrics

Auntie
Fool to let it come to this!
Wasting pity, squandering tears.
Ned
See the glitter in his eyes!
Grimes is at his exercise.
Boles
What he fears is that the Lord
Follows with a flaming sword.
Auntie
You see all through crazy eyes.
All
Grimes is at his exercise.
Boles
Where's the pastor of this flock?
Where's the guardian shepherd's hook?
All
Parson, lawyer, all at prayers.
(The service is over and people gradually collect outside the church door.)
Ned, Boles and Auntie
Now the church parade begins,
Fresh beginning for fresh sins.
Ogling with a pious gaze
Each one's at his exercise.
(Doctor Crabbe comes first.)
Auntie
Doctor!
Ned
Leave him out of it.
