MERMAN AND MERMAID.

(Grand Operatic Phantasmagoria)

Great magic in this Sacred World. We're taken in a Spiritual Dungeon. May God appear, they forbade us here. It's a holy place, we fear. What beautiful sounds, What beautiful colors, Hath this Vapor World of enchantment; Quite strange, we crave no hunger, Oh, King Reignall, cans't thou hear, Grant us one wish: Bring our parents near.

Great wonder of wonders, Our children do we see.

What! In the Spiritual Dungeon?

Let us awaken them Before King Reignall has time To condemn them, perhaps, Into eternity sublime.

Hush! be quiet, be careful for the King.

Quite so, for in this holy place The King does hear. No secret can be made In this sacred sphere.
