THE GARDEN OF EROS.

THE DOVE 
 
Of course I will ; 
I’m accustomed to ’ proceeding’. 
Let the lamb grow up to manhood. 
Then we’ll have him whipped and tortured 
And eventually killed. 
 
THE VULTURE 
 
That sounds lovely. 
 
THE LAMB 
 
Do you think so ? 
I record my vote against it. 
 
THE DOVE 
 
Stupid !  in a day or so 
We will have you rise again. 
 
THE LAMB 
 
Really !  I may be a dullard ; 
But I cannot see the point 
Of this most elaborate nonsense.
