Marquis: archy and mehitabel<br />

here<br />

once i played the owl<br />

in modjeska s production<br />

of macbeth<br />

i sat above the castle gate<br />

in the murder scene<br />

and made my yellow<br />

eyes shine through the dusk<br />

like an owl s eyes<br />

modjeska was a real<br />

trouper she knew how to pick<br />

her support i would like<br />

to see any of these modern<br />

theatre cats play the owl s eyes<br />

to modjeska s lady macbeth<br />

but they haven t got it nowadays<br />

they haven t got it<br />

here<br />

mehitabel he says<br />

both our professions<br />

are being ruined<br />

by amateurs<br />

DON MARQUIS<br />

WHO DRAGS THE FIERY ARTIST<br />

DOWN?<br />

Who drags the fiery artist down?<br />

Who keeps the pioneer in town?<br />

Who hates to let the seaman roam?<br />

It is the wife, it is the home.<br />
