==The original text==
 
 
 
Billed as a "side-splitting entertainment", the work is ascribed to Arthur H. Ward by [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980: p. 260). However this is highly unlikely, since the performance referred to dates from 1867, and Ward was only born in 1883, so it is most probably another, earlier, burlesque-style work by an unknown author, not , Ward and Vernon's operatic work ''[[Le Bal Masqué]]'' (1898).
