THE ROBBERS.
Spiegelberg.
"Memento mori." What care I? (Sings.)
The gallows, my boy, whene'er I pass by,
 I cock my left eye, and I blink with the tother;
 When I see the poor rogue on't, says I, my dear brother,
You may hang there for me.—Who's the fool, you or I?
 Tol de rol, tol de rol.

Spiegelberg.
Another!
Razman.
And another! 'Tis the Captain. (A noise of singing behind the scenes.)
The wittols of Nuremberg, these are the men!
They ne'er hang a thief till they catch him!
They ne'er hang a thief till they catch him!
Da capo.
Roller's voice is heard, and Switzer's. Halloa! Halloa.
Razman.
Roller, by heavens! 'tis Roller!
Switzer and Roller.
(Still behind the scene.) Razman, Grimm, Spiegelberg, Razman!
