Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Enter the Sorceress, and her Enchantresses

SORCERESS
See the flags and streamers curling
Anchors weighing, sails unfurling.

FIRST WITCH
Phoebe's pale deluding beams
Gilding o'er deceitful streams.

SECOND WITCH
Our plot has took,
The Queen's forsook.

TWO WITCHES
Elissa's ruin'd, ho, ho!
Our plot has took,
The Queen's forsook, ho, ho!
