THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY.
I have magnificent
And sublime and noble scheme.
Listen ! I will find a woman —
THE VULTURE
Oh ! you dirty-minded rascal !
THE DOVE
Wait a moment — I will do it.
Find a virgin — if I can,
And on her beget this lambkin
In the image of a man.
THE VULTURE
That seems complicated, pigeon.
We’ve the lamb begotten here.
THE DOVE
Yes, I know ; it seems absurd ;
But in practice I am certain
It will work out splendidly.
THE VULTURE
Well, proceed !
