The Ventriloquists

I send my voice into your mouth

You return the compliment

 

I am the Count of Cannizzaro

You are Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta

 

I am the thaumaturgic chain

You hold the opera glass and cards

 

You become extemporaneous song

I am your tutor

 

You are my invisible seed

I am Timour the Tartar

 

You are my curious trick

I your enchanted caddy

 

I am your confounding doll

You my confounded dummy.
