MERMAN AND MERMAID.

(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)

Owondlo be brave Seek ye a weapon, Be brave, be brave.

Those fish that are so bold, With yet no weapon for defense, Make my thoughts aflame, While my blood runs cold. But on I will search, A weapon for defense.

What now behold, This merry feast. They laugh, they sing, They joke in secret, Ten thousand ways untold. Ha ! ha ! They smack their lips And dine on sea currants, From Nature's hidden garden.

How fair she is? This wondrous beauty.

Quite stunning indeed.

Listen! Hush! Be not so loud. The sea life here Can hear our sounds For many miles around. }}
