| Arlecchino (Charles Ravenstone, aka Bonefinder, aka S. Charles Jeske) announces his master: Hear ye! Hear ye! Now comes El Capitano, the flower of chivalry, the king of knights, the prince of heroes, peerless among peers, son of the thunder and lightning; near relative of Death and close personal friend of the Great Devil of Hell, conqueror of armies, victor of a thousand battles, breaker of ten thousand hearts, the paragon of all virtues and object of every maiden's sighs, whose eye flashes the thunderbold and whose temper the very gods do fear! Cringe, bow, and scrape ye before the overwhelming presence of the Great and Powerful, the magnificent, the unimaginably splendid and virile -- ladies will wish to cover their eyes at this point, so as not to become pregnant -- Capitano Spavento de Giangurgolo! (kazoo fanfare!) |
