MERMAN AND MERMAID.
(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)
OWONDLO.
All the strange things
That this world brings,
Can it be that I
Have passed into a trance.
For life has left
A problem to solve,
That I may find perchance.
'Tis now I dream of her.
I fancy she is near.
What shall this life
For me present,
With no companion here.
(Owondlo dozes off to sleep)
CHAMBERMAID.
(Ghost)
Seek ye onward,
And ye shall find
That sea life here,
Has 'witched mankind.
CAPTAIN.
(Ghost passes by)
Hi ho! stranger,
Awake ye from slumber.
There's danger near.
MESSENGER BOY.
(Ghost passes by)
You're wanted in dining room number five.
OWONDLO.
(Awakens)
Where am I?
Me thinks I am not real.
(Owondlo searches on, looks in treasure vault)
