The charge is prepared; the lawyers are met,
The judges all ranged (a terrible show!)
I go, undismayed.⁠—For death is a debt,
A debt on demand.⁠—So take what I owe.
Then farewell, my love⁠—Dear charmers, adieu.
Contented I die⁠—’Tis the better for you.
Here ends all disputes the rest of our lives,
For this way at once I please all my wives.

Now, gentlemen, I am ready to attend you.

Exeunt Macheath, Lockit, and Peachum.

Enter Filch.

Polly Follow them, Filch, to the court. And when the trial is over, bring me a particular account of his behaviour, and of everything that happened⁠—You’ll find me here with Miss Lucy. Exit Filch. But why is all this music? Lucy The prisoners, whose trials are put off ’till next session, are diverting themselves. Polly Sure there is nothing so charming as music! I’m fond of it to distraction!⁠—But alas!⁠—now, all mirth seems an insult upon my affliction.⁠—Let us retire, my dear Lucy, and indulge our sorrows.⁠—The noisy crew, you see, are coming upon us.

Exeunt.

A dance of prisoners in chains, etc.

Scene V

The Condemned Hold

Macheath	In a melancholy posture.
Air LVII. Happy groves.
	O cruel, cruel, cruel case! Must I suffer this disgrace?
Air LVIII. Of all the girls that are so smart.
	Of all the friends in time of grief, When threatening death looks grimmer, Not one so sure can bring relief, As this best friend, a brimmer. Drinks.
Air LIX. Britons strike home.
	Since I must swing⁠—I scorn, I scorn to wince or whine. Rises.
Air LX. Chevy Chase.
	But now again my spirits sink; I’ll raise them high with wine. Drinks a glass of wine.
Air LXI. To old Sir Simon the King.
	But valour the stronger grows, The stronger liquor we’er drinking; And how can we feel our woes, When we’ve lost the trouble of thinking? Drinks.
Air LXII. Joy to great Caesar.
	If thus⁠—A man can die Much bolder with brandy. Pours out a bumper of brandy.
Air LXIII. There was an old woman.
	So I drink off this bumper.⁠—And now I can stand the test, And my comrades shall see, that I die as brave as the best. Drinks.
Air LXIV. Did you ever hear of a gallant sailor.
	But can I leave my pretty hussies, Without one tear, or tender sigh?
Air LXV. Why are mine eyes still flowing.
	Their eyes, their lips, their busses Recall my love⁠—Ah must I die!
Air LXVI. Green sleeves.
	Since laws were made for ev’ry degree, To curb vice in others, as well as me, I wonder we han’t better company, Upon Tyburn Tree! But gold from law can take out the sting; And if rich men like us were to swing, ’Twou’d thin the land, such numbers to string Upon Tyburn Tree!
Jailor	Some friends of yours, Captain, desire to be admitted⁠—I leave you together.
	Enter Ben Budge, Matt of the Mint.
Macheath	For my having broke prison, you see, gentlemen, I am ordered immediate execution.⁠—The sheriff’s officers, I believe, are now at the door.⁠—That Jemmy Twitcher should peach me, I own surprised me!⁠—’Tis a plain proof that the world is all alike, and that even our gang can no more trust one another than other people. Therefore, I beg you, gentlemen, look well to yourselves, for in all probability you may live some months longer.
Matt	We are heartily sorry, Captain, for your misfortune.⁠—But ’tis what we must all come to.
Macheath	Peachum and Lockit, you know, are infamous scoundrels. Their lives are as much in your power, as yours are in theirs.⁠—Remember your dying friend!⁠—’Tis my last request.⁠—Bring those villains to the gallows before you, and I am satisfied.
Matt	We’ll do’t.
Jailor	Miss Polly and Miss Lucy intreat a word with you.
Macheath	Gentlemen, adieu.
	Exeunt Ben Budge and Matt. Enter Lucy and Polly.
Macheath	My dear Lucy⁠—My dear Polly⁠—Whatsoever hath passed between us is now at an end⁠—If you are fond of marrying again, the best advice I can give you, is to ship yourselves off for the West Indies, where you’ll have a fair chance of getting a husband apiece, or by good luck, two or three, as you like best.
Polly	How can I support this sight!
Lucy	There is nothing moves one so much as a great man in distress.
Air LXVII. All you that must take a leap, etc.
Lucy	Would I might be hanged!
Polly	And I would so too!
Lucy	To be hanged with you.
Polly	My dear, with you.
Macheath	O leave me to thought! I fear! I doubt! I tremble! I droop!⁠—See, my courage is out. Turns up the empty bottle.
Polly	No token of love?
Macheath
