MERMAN AND MERMAID.
(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)
4TH SEA NYMPH.
No! some monster fish
I've seen before,
That measures in length
Two miles or more.
5TH SEA NYMPH.
Ha! Ha! you silly fool.
2ND SEA NYMPH.
Listen! you can hear
His teeth are grinding.
OWONDLO.
(Nervous)
I hope he's not so near.
I'm nervous, I'm nervous.
I wish I had a sword or spear.
(Sea Nymphs are not nervous and are making sea dresses; about them lay golden
chains, gold rings and diamond rings.)
4TH SEA NYMPH.
How do you like this shape?
OWONDLO.
So nice and plump, you'll do,
I'll fall in love with you.
3RD SEA NYMPH.
(Examining dress)
It's odd indeed.
4TH SEA NYMPH.
Made of golden chains.
