MERMAN AND MERMAID.

(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)

You are quite right. Let good wishes be Bestowed upon you by our Lord. Here! I loan you my sword.

I thank you. I must begone. Adieu, Adieu, Adieu.

How queer, how strange, Some silly fool Had wished to feed The Gods in the Garden, On Petrified currants, Fossil and toad-stool.

Perhaps a Sea Nymph—

Perhaps some ghost—

Perhaps a gold fish—

Perhaps some beast. All likely enjoyed A bountiful feast.}}
