ACT I.

OPENING CHORUS.

In lazy languor--motionless,
We lie and dream of nothingness;
For visions come
From Poppydom
Direct at our command:
Or, delicate alternative,
In open idleness we live,
With lyre and lute
And silver flute,
The life of Lazyland.

SOLO - Phylla.

The song of birds
In ivied towers;
The rippling play
Of waterway;
The lowing herds;
The breath of flowers;
The languid loves
Of turtle doves--
These simply joys are all at hand
Upon thy shores, O Lazyland!

(Enter Calynx)

Calynx: Good news! Great news! His Majesty's eldest daughter,
Princess Zara, who left our shores five years since to go
to
England--the greatest, the most powerful, the wisest
country
in the world--has taken a high degree at Girton, and is
on
her way home again, having achieved a complete mastery
over
all the elements that have tended to raise that glorious
country to her present pre-eminent position among
civilized
nations!

Salata: Then in a few months Utopia may hope to be completely
Angli-
cized?

Calynx: Absolutely and without a doubt.

Melene: (lazily) We are very well as we are. Life without a
care--every want supplied by a kind and fatherly monarch,
who, despot though he be, has no other thought than to
