act i, scene 2

(the marketplace in beauty’s dream. a troupe of vagabond minstrels enter the town and dance about the stage. members of the crowd join them. jugglers perform, solo dancers whirl and leap, people cheer. it is a frenzy of color and excitement. elipsis, masked, enters.)

[elipsis] (spoken)
ladies and gentlemen, i present the king and queen of the mystic! (the mystic queen and king make a regal entrance as the crowd “oohs” and “aahs”. elipsis begins again once the queen and king have settled.) welcome friends, and gather ‘round our merry band! for we bring marvels and delights! dancing, singing, daring deeds performed by my dashing brothers. charms! cures! love potions to heat the long cold nights. strange beasts to amaze you! and…if you’re very lucky…the queen of the mystic may tell your fortune! so drop what you’re doing and head over here. what have you got to lose? (he laughs.)

[elipsis] (singing)
come, now, and see the marvels
brought from the misty mountains
brought from our homeland
far away where the wild winds blow

come see these players
now returned from myster’ious outlands
rovers are we and outcasts…
still you’ll enjoy the show!

[elipsis, brothers, & (crowd)]
dancing and singing, love songs (aaahh— cures,)
tonics, charms and potions
we’ll cure your aching back (aaahh—)
and give you some new hair, too

come see our silks and spices (aaahh—)
brought from across the oceans
and if you need a new wife…
we can provide that too (ha! ha! ha!)
(instrumental)

[elipsis, & crowd]
come now and see the marvels
brought from the misty mountains
brought from our homeland
far away where the wild wild blow

come see these players
now returned from myster’ious outlands
outcasts are we and rovers too…

[elipsis] (to his brothers)
well, here we are again
this drab little town
is a rathole like no other

still, am i sad?
there’s a fortune to be had
by a clever lad
if he’s got the nerve to steal it

[elipsis (to ill townsman), & (crowd)]
here sir, you’re looking ill (zzsha! zzsha! zzsha! zzsha!)
i know it’s the crowd (zzsha! zzsha!)
and the weather’s hot as h_ll (zzsha! zzsha!)!
but if you would care (zzsha! zzsha!)
to see our doctor over there (zzsha! zzsha!)
he’ll clear up your headache (zzsha! zzsha!)…
(and your purse as well!) (zzsha! zzsha!)

[elipsis, & (crowd)]
god what a life we lead (aaahh—)
back on the road and
another town to go to, but…

a vagabond is what i’ll be
the roving life’s the life for me
and would i leave this sweet existence?
no (no!)! no (no!)! no (no!)! no (no!)!

oh…

[elipsis, & crowd]
come then and raise your voices
sing of the misty mountains
sing of our (your) homeland
far away where the wild winds blow

sing then of wagon wheels
of rivers and lakes and fountains
raise up the banners and start the show
[elipsis]
oh…
oh…
oh…
enjoy the…

[elipsis, & crowd]
show!
hey!
