NARR. We've done our jigs both old and new
But Winter is a coming.
So seeking something else to do,
We're going to try some mumming!

We'll tell the tale of George the Knight,
Who slew a fiery beast
And though the story's not quite right
The play is free at least.

(ENTER KING OF EYGPT)

KING I am the King of Eygpt's land
Of pyr'mids, sphinx and crocodiles
And a river that spreads like a giant hand
..A bit like finger niles.

An evil dragon plagues my rule,
Doing what he shouldn't oughta
And to persuade the beast to keep his cool,
I'm offering him my daughter..

(ENTER SABRINA, KING OF EYGPT'S DAUGHTER)
