Song by Policeman<br /><br>

[CONSTABLE ONE]<br>

Tell his reverence your story<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE TWO]<br>

Let us see if he's impressed<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE ONE]<br>

You were lodging here last night<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE TWO]<br>

You were the honest Bishop's guest.<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE ONE]<br>

And then, out of Christian goodness<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE TWO]<br>

When he learned about your plight<br>

<br>

[CONSTABLE ONE]<br>

You maintain he made a present of this silver.<br>

<br>

[BISHOP]<br>

That is right.<br>

But my friend you left so early<br>

Surely something slipped your mind<br>

<br>

[The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks]<br>

<br>

You forgot I gave these also;<br>

Would you leave the best behind?<br>

So, Messieurs, you may release him<br>

For this man has spoken true.<br>

I commend you for your duty<br>

And God's blessing go with you.<br>

<br>

[The constables leave.]<br>

<br>

And remember this, my brother,<br>

See in this some high plan.<br>

You must use this precious silver<br>

To become an honest man.<br>

By the witness of the martyrs,<br>

By the passion and the blood,<br>

God has raised you out of darkness:<br>

I have bought your soul for God.<br>

<br>
