While the thankless old mariner shivers

Michael John:

And strives to break loose from her spell.

Mercia (her voice rising to prophetic fervour):

But the child, still unborn, of my yearning,

Shall go in the van as our guide,

Captain Dan (chuckling feebly):

Down the pathway of shame to the burning,

Mercia (laughing horribly):

When Im Daniel the Mariners Bride.
