MERMAN AND MERMAID.

(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)

I'm almost tempted To go within.

No one has ever ventured within.

And who could come within?

Unless by magic.

The sea, the sea, That in magic sways, Has thousands of tales untold. Where plant life invites one To reap its fruit, And, then quickly betrays.

I'll be careful now what kind.

Make haste, hurry in, You hear that noise?

'Tis perhaps the ghosts are feasting In the Garden of Magic Gods. }}
