English poem
Titania
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
If her whims the wife control, And the man berate her, Take him to the Northern Pole, And her to the Equator!
ORCHESTRA. TUTTI.
Fortissimo.
Snout of fly, mosquito-bill, And kin of all conditions, Frog in grass, and cricket-trill,— These are the musicians!
