(A MULTITUDE OF MIDGES SWARMS WHITE OVER HIS ROBE. HE SCRATCHES HIMSELF
WITH CROSSED ARMS AT HIS RIBS, GRIMACING, AND EXCLAIMS:)
I’m suffering the agony of the
damned. By the hoky fiddle, thanks be to Jesus
those funny little chaps are not unanimous. If
they were they’d walk me off the face of the
bloody globe.
(His head aslant he BLESSES curtly
with fore and middle fingers,
IMPARTS
the Easter kiss and DOUBLESHUFFLES
off COMICALLY, swaying his hat
from
side to side, shrinking quickly
to the size of his TRAINBEARERS.
The
dwarf acolytes, giggling, peeping,
Nudging, ogling, EASTERKISSING, ZIGZAG
behind him. His voice is
heard mellow from afar, merciful
male,
melodious:)
Shall carry my heart to thee,
Shall carry my heart to thee,
And the breath of the balmy
night
Shall carry my heart to thee!
