The Sorcerer: Now Shrivelled Hags, With Poison Bags

MR.W., VOICES, ALEXIS AND ALINE.

MR. W.
Now, shrivelled hags,
with poison bags
Discharge your loathsome loads!
Spit flame and fire, unholy choir!
Belch forth your venom, toads!
Ye demons fell, with yelp and yell,
Shed curses far afield!
Ye fiends of night,
your filthy blight
In noisome plenty yield!

MR. W. (pouring phial into tea-pot)
(Spoken) Number One! (Flash)
VOICES.
(Sung) It is done!
MR. W. (same business)
(Spoken) Number Two! (flash)
VOICES.
(Sung) One too few!
MR. W.
(Spoken) Number Three! (flash)
VOICES.
(Sung) Set us free!
Set us free!
our work is done!

ENSEMBLE.
ALINE AND ALEXIS lines (aside).
Let us fly to a far-off land,
Where peace and plenty dwell,
Where the sigh of the silver strand
Is echoed in ev'ry shell.
ALINE.
Let us fly!
ALEXIS.
Let us fly!
ALINE.
let us fly!
ALEXIS.
let us fly!
ALINE.
let us fly!
ALEXIS.
let us fly!
ALINE.
let us fly!
BOTH
let us fly!
let us fly!
