ROBIN HOOD AND MAID MARIAN

By Josef Maria Mayer

ACT ONE

FIRST SCENE

(In Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck and shepherds and shepherdesses.)

ROBIN HOOD

I invite all my shepherds

And with the shepherds all shepherdesses.

Spring is coming, the new love's spring!

With a feast we welcome the spring.

O my most beautiful shepherdesses,

As beautiful as nymphs of Arcadia,

Naiads, bathing in the clear rivers,

As ewes, emerging from the washing;

Here is every nymph like a ewe,

She has born twins of pure lambs.

You always convert over green hill

With your rams, ewes, lambs,

In peace walk on the waters,

Always wear your lambs small bells,

So you can hear if one has been lost

And desperately bleats in a thorn bush.

Come, whether the tyrant is in the land,

And Lionheart fought at the Holy Sepulchre,

We want to celebrate, want to be happy.

(He turns to his lady, Maid Marian.)

Maid Marian, o my beloved mistress,

What we need today to a banquet?

Go, Virgin Bride, and chase a deer!

Go hunt in the forest, in Sherwood Forest,

Whether you re-find the green hills,

Where did you see the young deer,

Where you heard of black spruce forest

The roar of a deer in the rut!

O, if the deer is in its mating season,

Then no one would venture near him,

Even buffalos have fear before the deer then,

He commutes back and forth the powerful member

And aggressive he is in front of virility

And any rival gets impaled.

MAID MARIAN

Once I saw a deer in the spruce forest,

In his fourteen-ended antlers

I saw radiate a golden crucifix.

Yes, Robin, I'll get you the deer,

I'll hunt the deer to our feast.

(Robin turns to the fat Friar Tuck.)

ROBIN HOOD

My dear Friar Tuck, my fat priest,

My holy chaplain and my cupbearer,

You thick wine barrel with the red nose,

You shall look after the red wine for the feast!

BROTHER TUCK

O Angel of France, Angel, have mercy on us!

O Soul of France, have mercy on us!

Once missionaries have founded a sect

In the south of France to preach asceticism,

Yes, they talked about smart ways:

Will you ever be like angels on earth,

Abstain the wine, dear brothers!

The Blessed French Catholics

Of flesh and blood drive out these heretics!

ROBIN HOOD

What do you preach to me about the Soul of France?

I asked you just for good red wine.

BROTHER TUCK

I'm in love, oh, in the Angel of France,

France's tongue is but the tongue of angels!

ROBIN HOOD

The angel of my country but is jealous,

The angel of my country is still in the land of angels.

BROTHER TUCK

Jeanne d'Arc and Saint Georg agree

And argue not in paradise.

ROBIN HOOD

Back now to the more mundane things:

There's good red wine on our fest?

BROTHER TUCK

The wine of Chios already drank Homer

And Solomon the wine of Lebanon,

Hafiz drank his wine of Shiraz

And I in my youth the wine of Bordeaux.

But now has a thicker Friar

I am also brought to the taste that I

Can enjoy the red Saint Pétrus.

Otherwise, there is Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape,

Which drank the Pope in Avignon.

ROBIN HOOD

I'm happy, my dear Friar Tuck.

This is the kingdom of heaven on earth already,

When to speak by the good wine with friends.

BROTHER TUCK

Yes, heavenly is the kissing,

Even more heavenly to me is the wine!

(Invited guests appear at the edge of the forest. Robin Hood goes to meet them, he welcomes them and leads them in his camp.)

ROBIN HOOD

O dear brethren, beloved sisters!

In this dark time, because the tyrant

Usurped the throne of the grace of the King

And oppression prevails in the homeland

And the poor complain about high taxes,

We do not want to be discouraged, friends.

SHEPHERD

O Robin Hood, Hero, you think well!

You must not be discouraged, Robin Hood!

We are only a small force, but

Very much can a small people do with God!

ROBIN HOOD

Scare away the sadness, the black melancholy,

Scare away the bat of melancholy!

Let the sun go on into your hearts

And sing a love song to the Lord and Shepherd.

(A shepherdess takes the flute and blows the flute and a shepherd sings the Psalm.)

SHEPHERD

(sings)

Yehowah is the Good Shepherd,

He leads me in the green meadow.

Fresh water he spends me,

Revive me with morning dew!

The Good Shepherd's rod and staff

Performs the paths of justice,

To re-awaken my soul

From the gloomy night of sorrow.

And I must go through the valley of tears

And I must go through the vale of grief,

Yehowah hears my sighs and groans,

Counting my tears without number.

Yehowah fills me the cup full of wine

And covers me the table with meat,

Then I am drinking the full cups,

The meat makes me fresh again.

The sweet goodness is with me,

With me is mercy and pity,

Until God's grace led me home

To the beautiful garden of eternity!

SECOND SCENE

(People of Robin Hood and the shepherds frolicking happily in the forest and in the camp. But sadly away sits the shepherd Amour. Robinhood noticed the lonely and joins him.)

ROBIN HOOD

You look so sad, my poor shepherd,

I see it but you say you've been crying.

Say what saddens you so, dear soul?

AMOUR

Oh, my beloved has died,

Carina died, my love!

ROBIN HOOD

I'm sorry, Amour, my dear Shepherd,

Do you want to me of Carina tell?

AMOUR

How I miss her! How lonely I am now!

Now I know just how much I loved her!

Although I have always done everything for her,

But I did not say it often enough,

That I love her. Oh, now she's dead!

ROBIN HOOD

Certainly, but her soul floats around you.

AMOUR

I always feel that an angel is

Near me, a female angel

From tender gentle kind and dear being

And I always tell my angel, O angel,

I love you! Oh, comfort my soul!

ROBIN HOOD

Do you want to look for a new girlfriend?

AMOUR

Never again will there be such a being,

For unique was the Beloved.

God himself could not create again

Such a dear girl, beautiful and faithful.

ROBIN HOOD

How was Carina? Tell me, my dear!

AMOUR

Oh, she was beautiful as a goddess of beauty,

Like a Venus from the third heaven,

And she was faithful as God's covenant faithfulness,

And full of love, she was like the spirit

Of wisdom, and loves all people.

She loved nature and all loveliness,

She loved the family, all children,

To her life was sacred, all life,

She played the beautiful cymbals, danced beautifully,

The flute she blew well and kissed sweet,

She was a great kisser before God!

(Friar Tuck added.)

BROTHER TUCK

Where all Christians are so cheerful,

What look you so as the unredeemed world?

ROBIN HOOD

Amour is sad, dear Friar Tuck.

BROTHER TUCK

Mortal sin is melancholy and sadness.

ROBIN HOOD

Oh Brother Tuck, Amour is full of sorrow,

Carina, his love, has died.

BROTHER TUCK

Amour, you believe in immortality?

AMOUR

I believe in the eternity of life.

BROTHER TUCK

So comfort yourself with the thought that

Carina now lives in heaven with God.

So you pray daily for her soul

And she will be your angel.

AMOUR

So it is, dear Friar Tuck,

But I must cry always, always cry,

I do not want to be comforted in my soul.

ROBIN HOOD

Well, Friar Tuck, when prayer does not help,

What advice does the blessed chaplain gives then?

BROTHER TUCK

The wise man speaks, more precisely, his mother

Instructs the son: A king should not drink,

Shall not drink wine and beer and liquor sharp

And his strength not to give to the women,

However, but the misery and full of wretchedness

Should drink yellow beer and red wine

And when the beer and if the wine does not help,

Then sharp plum brandy and fig brandy!

AMOUR

Such a broad cup there is not,

To infuse my tears flowing.

ROBIN HOOD

Amour, only hang not to yourself!

Spring is coming soon, full of hope

In the spring your life laughs again!

BROTHER TUCK

Yes, all the Druids prophesy,

A new humanity will begin in spring

And the fire of love pours down on the ground!

AMOUR

What should I feel in all spring,

If I no longer jumps Carina's bosom?

(Amour gets up and walks away from Robin Hood and Friar Tuck, looking for a secluded spot under a chestnut tree. He embraces the chestnut and cries. After a while of crying, he speaks softly.)

You elf who lives in the chestnut,

You elf, hear my poor soul!

Oh elf, all elves, everyone wants to comfort me,

Every man with his human wisdom

Reasonably attempts to comfort my soul,

But the soul does not want to be comforted.

Yes, the mind can reach their speeches,

To the heart but they seem a mockery.

The strong man whom robbed not

The death of his dearest, he does not understand me.

Oh fairy, Robin Hood has still

Maid Marian as an aid to the side

And Friar Tuck's married to God

And drinking the love of God in the wine.

I'm just alone, I'm so miserable all,

An orphan in the whole universe!

Uncanny falls on me the madness

And closer than the men of this world

I feel the moon to me and the fairies and elves.

All the earth shall rejoice in the day,

I want to cry alone at night, all alone.

Yes, elf, no woman will understand me,

But you are not a woman of the world,

An invisible being you of spirit,

Very pure soul, nothing but feeling,

Sensitive, tender, motherly, full of compassion.

To you only I trust my sorrow,

To you only I confess: I want to be sad,

For in the mourning tears my grief

Appears in remembrance of my love

Carina me again in front of the heart's eye.

Just that I can bear this grief

And not am broken by the weight of misery

And finally, I do not even take my life!

By Gloriana, Queen of the Fairies,

O elf, I pray thee, be thou my comfort,

You who dwell in the chestnut, o elf,

You shall be the consoler of the desolate!

THIRD SCENE

(Maid Marian comes from hunting, twelve hunters around her that bring a hunted deer. Robin welcomes his mistress.)

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, fine, you're finally back!

MAID MARIAN

Yes, just come to me, you my well-beloved!

ROBIN HOOD

How beautiful you are in your white dress,

That falls from the apex to the feet!

Almighty Princess of my soul!

Me once asked a wise old man,

Whether you're the divine Dian?

MAID MARIAN

Dian! Do you know of the virgin goddess

The myth and also of the miserable Actaeon?

ROBIN HOOD

Actaeon was in the spring in the forest

And he walked in oaks and chestnuts

And came to a quiet forest pool

And saw the divine Dian there

In bathing naked, barely veiled by fog

In the morning, bathing her naked body.

But the divine Dian saw him

And immediately she bewitched into a stag

The happy-miserable Actaeon, who

The goddess has seen naked in the bath

And he fled as a stag now through the green forest.

The divine Dian but rushed

The dogs of Dian afterwards.

The dog Luna chased

And tore the deer to pieces and mangled

Actaeon, who saw the goddess naked.

MAID MARIAN

I have just come from the deer hunting also,

But I have hunted the real deer,

Not a man with a deer mask.

ROBIN HOOD

There's an old tune,

Called: The melody of the deer,

Which was chased in the dawn.

MAID MARIAN

No, Robin, so does not hight the melody,

It's called the melody: the melody

Of a doe, in the dawn

Hunted by the hunters and the dogs.

ROBIN HOOD

Yes, God's wisdom is probably a doe,

Which the very evening of my life is

Refreshing to be like the young love.

(Maid Marian and Robin Hood stand aside. The twelve hunters take the deer in the kitchen.)

MAID MARIAN

My dear, I am born for love!

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, with Brother Tuck

When I've confessed and received absolution,

Then I must always confess before thee still,

And when you smile over my sins,

Then it only seems to me that the Lord blesseth me.

MAID MARIAN

What did you have again to confess, my dear?

ROBIN HOOD

I had to confess my God and Lord,

That I often in the darkness of my spleen

No longer can pray to Jesus Christ,

That I will pray to you, Maid Marian!

MAID MARIAN

And when you pray to Maid Marian,

Did you already receice help by Maid Marian?

ROBIN HOOD

The Friar Tuck once advised me,

To talk quite often with my soul

And persuade my own soul:

What are you so sad, my soul?

Be patient, God will still help!

MAID MARIAN

After winter comes spring and after frost sunshine.

ROBIN HOOD

I wanted to talk to my soul,

Then I said, O Maid Marian,

Maid Marian, so I called my soul.

MAID MARIAN

O faithful friend, I say to all people,

How good you are to me, how smart you are,

That you were my savior in every adversity,

The whole world knows of our friendship,

And if we are no longer on earth,

Then they will sing only of Robin Hood,

Your name, my good one, will not perish.

ROBIN HOOD

And if they also one day in England

About Robin Hood ballads sing,

Then will be celebrated with Robin Hood

Maid Marian, thy name is immortal.

MAID MARIAN

Immortal lives my name continued through you!

Oh, this is quite a peculiar love!

ROBIN HOOD

And in the apple orchard of Avalon

Are we then united in eternity, my beloved!

(The twelve huntsmen come back and join Robin Hood and Maid Marian.)

HUNTER

The deer is delivered in the kitchen.

ROBIN HOOD

Tell me about the hunt, you, my hunter,

And about Maid Marian, how she was on the hunt?

HUNTER

Maid Marian, O how she rode on the horse!

I felt as I looked hunting a goddess!

With her tighs she turned the horse,

Which she powerful ruled by her thighs!

MAID MARIAN

I shall never whip a mare!

HUNTER

Pardon the expression, my high mistress!

I just mean, Maid Marian has ridden

Like a poet on the winged horse,

As the Prophet rode in the Garden of Eden!

It was as if she held in her right hand

The torch of Cupid, around the world

In fires to burn! and

Put on her loins as in the sheath

The sharp sword with its sharp edge!

But her breasts swelled out of her dress!

MAID MARIAN

The breasts swell! Hunter, how you're talking about me!

HUNTER

So she hunted the poor deer to death!

MAID MARIAN

No, Robin Hood, it was quite different. so,

I sneaked quietly through the lonely forest

And came on an empty hill clear

And saw on this hill in clarity grazing

A young deer, so slim, so brown the fur!

But at the edge of this hill

I saw the stag with mighty antlers,

They dangled between his legs

The deer's genitals in potent virility

So back and forth in the wild twitching!

I put the arrow on my bow

And stretched my bow string

And shot the arrow straight to the heart of the deer!

ROBIN HOOD

Whether you're the divine Dian,

Maid Marian, the goddess-huntress

Dian and I am your stag Actaeon?

MAID MARIAN

My friend, I'm just a shy doe,

I'm a gentle mild doe.

Look, my breasts bounce as gazelles,

My eyes gaze as antelopes eyes.

ROBIN HOOD

Gazelle twin fawns are your breasts!

FOURTH SCENE

(Mabel, a witch of forty years, with long fiery red curly hair, very slim, comes in Robin Hood's camp.)

MABEL

I met in the forest one of your hunter,

He invited me to this treat.

ROBIN HOOD

You're the witch but from elm-forest?

You live but near the large megalithic stones?

MABEL

Yes, what you Christians call a witch!

But Witch means Hag that comes from a closed garden,

Mary lives also in a closed rose garden,

Because Hag that means enclosure, pleasant,

Cozy enclosure is an Hag,

Yes, Hag, which comes from the word Hagios,

And Hagios, that is holiness.

Holiness means to be set apart

From this earthly world, to be all alone

Familiar with his Divinity, only to live with God.

ROBIN HOOD

Who is your deity? But not Jesus Christ!

Surely you do pray to the old pagan goddess!

MABEL

The White Christ your missionaries

Has given us the church hierarchy

As an hot pyre for the witches!

However, our Trinitarian Goddess

Is pure as a young girl goddess,

Is loving as a goddess of love,

Is venerable as the goddess of fate.

I am the priestess of the Great Goddess.

ROBIN HOOD

You celebrate but in the night of the first of May

The witches' sabbath and the Black Mass,

Where you are married with the goat!

MABEL

Yes, all hail, goat who you are slaughtered!

ROBIN HOOD

Who is your bridegroom, the goat?

MABEL

The goat and bridegroom of the witches church,

This is the old god, the son of the goddess,

Whom God-Father and his Son Jesus

Has bannished, who now lives in secret,

God Lucifer, and I am his bride!

(Robin Hood makes the sign of the cross Mabel shakes her long fiery red curls and starts as in a dance to move.)

ROBIN HOOD

That hurts me though that you know the Son of God

And do not love the only Saviour Jesus Christ,

But Jesus Christ loves you!

MABEL

I'm not inclined hostile to you.

ROBIN HOOD

So you too are invited to my party.

Can you even do anything good?

MABEL

I could do good in the kitchen.

I know well the green herbs,

Secret effects of green plants,

Medicinal herbs from the goddess' pharmacy

Are familiar to me, and not only the materials,

But also how beneficial the scents are of the materials,

The power of gemstones I know also,

As the amethyst frees you from drunkenness,

I also know what is healthy food,

Of vegetables can I cook soup,

I know the power of peas and carrots,

Just do not eat beans.

ROBIN HOOD

Why no beans, beautiful Mabel?

MABEL

We witches do not eat beans,

Because our ancestors dwell in the beans.

ROBIN HOOD

O Mabel, you're also a philosopher!

MABEL

The Great Goddess Brigid is the Muse,

The Muse with the large cauldron,

That inspired the pagan poets,

That are initiated into the mystery

Of the alphabet of the trees of our goddess.

ROBIN HOOD

The goddess Brigid? What a confusion!

Saint Birgit is still no heathen goddess!

MABEL

Saint Birgit, inzercede for uns, you Immaculate,

Saint Birgit, intercede for us, you Loving One,

Saint Birgit, intercede for us, you Eternal Wisdom!

ROBIN HOOD

Go, Mabel, you're crazy, beautiful woman,

Go into the kitchen, make something delicious!

(The beautiful witch Mabel now goes alone in the kitchen and talks while with herself.)

MABEL

Yes, I'll cook a dainty tea,

O Goddess! Even in the Mysteries

Of Saint Dionysus were intoxicated

The Bacchantes and chewed ivy.

I heard about the Scythians in the east,

When they rise from their black mares

And slip into the tents, it steams there

From the smoke of the hashish

Out of the water-pipes.

In China they smoke opium

And so flee in absolute emptiness.

Also in Atlantis, that great island

In the far west, eat the natives

Under the direction of their sacred shaman

The fungi that open the gates of the senses

And invite souls to take a walk

In the happy hunting ground with the dead ancestors.

O goddess, every people owns his drug!

For the health the rule us recommends

To take some drugs of the native soil.

Tea of datura I want to cook for the people,

And if they drink the tea of datura,

It tastes a little sour in the mouth,

Then come the most beautiful hallucinations

As in the crazy state of psychosis

And a balance attacks the people, a balance,

And then they want to talk, keep on talking,

Maybe it befalls them the paranoia!

It may also be that they suffocate, yes,

Tea of datura can be fatal! O Goddess!

Belladonna I will also mix in the tea,

So the people fall delusion and mania.

But one thing surprised me, great mother goddess,

I know a witch who sang beautifully

Of the Triune Goddess Mary,

Which once drank belladonna tea and died

And her soul was floating in the hereafter

And in the hereafter they saw Jesus Christ

And Jesus Christ woke the witch

Out of her death and gave her new life

And sent her back to the black earth

And this wild singer and witch

In fact has become a Christian

And now always sings: Ave gratia plena!

FIFTH SCENE

(Maid Marian with some shepherdesses. Robin Hood and Friar Tuck are a bit off and watch the women.)

MAID MARIAN

You shepherdesses, my dear sisters,

I have killed a deer, I tell you,

This is a deer, a real true deer!

SHEPHERDESS

Yes, we may consider the one?

MAID MARIAN

Now the deer can be seen in the kitchen,

Yet it is whole, the copy is gorgeous,

Soon it is broken, be cut,

Then I will the inner parts all

In our camp bake in the pan

Even until crispy. Tasty is the flesh.

SHEPHERDESS

Roast venison, which is a delicacy,

It tastes very good to the red cabbage,

If laurel leaves round out everything.

MAID MARIAN

Yes, and to the brown festive sauce

Solanum tubers also.

SHEPHERDESS

The good one surrenders his own life,

That we take his flesh as food to us.

MAID MARIAN

I can not forget it, how I

Have seen him in his rutting season in the forest,

How there the deer's member full of manhood

In convulsions dangled back and forth!

SHEPHERDESS

And his herd of does? Oh the poor,

What they do without their husband now?

Was there a rival, another deer?

MAID MARIAN

I have not seen, no

Rival dared to come in his vicinity,

the potency twitched in his stag member,

So hot excited, he was so aggressive,

He had every other rival

Of his herd of does killed!

SHEPHERDESS

Oh, if only our men so would be!

But they always let the rivals

In our area, that they rasp licorice,

This our husbands does not matter.

MAID MARIAN

Come, shepherdesses, with me in the kitchen,

Amazed be again my hart to us!

(Maid Marian and the shepherdesses disappear in the kitchen. It is an oppressive silence on the scene. The silence is interrupted only briefly by a short exchange conversation between Robin Hood and Friar Tuck.)

ROBIN HOOD

I'm so tired, dear Friar Tuck,

Whether this will be the spring?

BROTHER TUCK

To his beloved Yehowah sends good sleep!

(It is again an oppressive silence on the scene. Finally Maid Marian appears again, but she seems quite changed, her character has lost its sweetness.)

MAID MARIAN

No, this beautiful deer, the strong hart,

Is not for Robin Hood and his men.

May Robin Hood but continue to fry chicken,

He steals from many a farm,

But such a deer is just for nobles!

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, what are you so different now?

MAID MARIAN

The time now is not for you! I have other things

To do! Busyness in the world

Is probably unknown to you? I do work!

BROTHER TUCK

What will you do with the good meat?

MAID MARIAN

Meat you want to eat, always nothing but meat!

Do you not think of the poor sick people?

Saint Birgit, you shall pray for all the poor,

Saint Birgit, you shall pray for all the sick,

They who are hungry for justice and revenge!

BROTHER TUCK

Your prayer seems to be a christian prayer,

Maid Marian, you are baptized,

But your prayer in truth it is pagan.

MAID MARIAN

Yes, what her people so called Christian church!

Your always preache from the chaste fish

And devour baken meat in abundance!

ROBIN HOOD

Yes, shall I not eat the dainty deer?

Who should eat at my place the deer?

MAID MARIAN

I'll send the deer to the beautiful beloved Mabel,

The Sorceress of elm-forest, the one

Living at the megalithic stones in the cave.

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, I do not know you again!

How heartless are you suddenly against me!

(The hunters appear with the deer. Shepherds and shepherdesses emerging.)

MAID MARIAN

You hunter, bring the deer to the beautiful Mabel!

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, that's our deer!

MAID MARIAN

What our? What do you mean by our then?

I suppose you want to make everyone believe

We both are a pure pair of lovers

And our love is sacred and platonic?

ROBIN HOOD

I still love you in every dream at night.

MAID MARIAN

We are not the bride and bridegroom before God!

ROBIN HOOD

What, you no longer believe in the soul wedding,

The spiritual union of us?

MAID MARIAN

(silently picks the first daffodils.)

ROBIN HOOD

You are silent? But what do you think I can hear!

MAID MARIAN

Thoughts so you want to read?

What am I thinking just now, you mind reader?

ROBIN HOOD

You think: I do not love you, I do not love you!

MAID MARIAN

The Christians are still people of love,

Very impersonal love to all people.

ROBIN HOOD

Only me you do not love, Maid Marian!

MAID MARIAN

I do not love you, I do not love you, and you

Are not a handsome man in my eyes.

SHEPHERDESS

So hard a heart, mistress? Why that?

So we do not know you, beautiful lady,

Otherwise, full of goodness towards all men.

MAID MARIAN

I do not love you, I do not love you! I am in love

Of humanity impersonal, but not of you!

(Maid Marian disappears in the forest.)

ROBIN HOOD

Almighty God, she breaks my heart!

ACT II

FIRST SCENE

(The witch Mabel and her thirteen year old daughter Sweety, who also has long fiery red curls and looks very attractive.)

MABEL

Oh Sweety, yes, you're a real sweet piece!

SWEETY

As you still were counting sixteen years, Mama,

Have you determined maddened men.

MABEL

Oh, men! What then are good men?

SWEETY

I also want no man who does not want a wedding.

MABEL

If you take a man to your husband,

Then he stares at night only in the fireplace,

And knows not to change words anymore.

SWEETY

I know growing my breasts already, oh Mama!

MABEL

When I saw you the other day in the tub,

Then I thought: This girl has breasts, yes!

SWEETY

Oh, if we could but alone have children

And no man have to take as husband for them!

MABEL

Maid Marian and Robin Hood are also

Confused, and misfortune presides over both.

SWEETY

Tell me everything, dear mother Mabel!

MABEL

I habe through magic and witchcraft

Taken on Maid Marian's design

And from the mouth of Robin's saint

I have cursed the lovers with curses unlovingly!

SWEETY

Robin Hood says only always

Maid Marian, the rose among the thorns!

Let him once noted that the rose

Thorns also has which hurtful sting sharp!

MABEL

He thought otherwise, she would be female eagle,

That hardly come from the kingdom of heaven to earth,

The Earth barely touched with her wings

And then returns to the kingdom of heaven.

Maid Marian! He has learned today

Through my magical enchantment

And black witchcraft, that she be spiked is

In the flesh to be scorpion sting!

SWEETY

I also want a thorn in my flesh!

MABEL

Yes, yes, the thorn in the flesh

Blessed thee as the blessed in heaven.

SWEETY

How is the love between man and woman?

MABEL

Oh Sweety, you are now thirteen years

And your breasts begin to bloom,

If you count only sixteen years, my girl,

Will the first man became a fool of you.

Yes, boast only with your firm breasts!

Blow out of your cash profit!

If you are then twenty-four years,

Then men want to enjoy your body,

To have you then as a paradise of pleasure!

Hide your beautiful small body

And let the men often throw glances

On your beautiful breasts, barely disguised,

Then they worship you as a goddess!

Three years later, it will be over,

Expect no more love of men.

SWEETY

Tell me about Robin Hood but more and

Maid Marian and her anger of love.

MABEL

The poor Robin Hood! He does not so,

As it happens, what has happened to him.

But such a contention of his Well-Beloved!

What feelings of romantic

Infatuation and rage of platonic love

According to this pair reconciled again?

SWEETY

Is not he one of those men

That one really deeply must despise,

So they worship you as a goddess?

MABEL

Yes, always a shock only to the guys,

They lick you in their dogs humility

The feet when you're young and lovely!

However, if you're a female demon

And not more erotic with your body charm,

Then you will be called cursed witch,

Hypnotist of darkest magic

And superstitious playmate of the devil!

SWEETY

Yes, do I want to be like Saint Mary's humility?

I would rather mate with the devil

And then appear as a ghost in the night dream,

To suck their seed!

MABEL

That can not forgive her Robin Hood,

That she all mankind on earth

In God's charity loves, but alone

The only one who loves her bleeding,

That she spurned this lover, despised!

SWEETY

He should see my boobs again!

MABEL

Maid Marian now has a bad fate,

Her fate has been filled with misfortune.

SWEETY

Maid Marian is a devout Christian

And says she'll live inside God's presence,

How can she then say that she suffers?

MABEL

Of Christianity perverted faith is

The faith in the Cross. So they cry:

Oh let me die with thee at the cross!

Eager as a man after his beloved

Are they to die for their Lord and God!

Most of all they want to die today,

Prefer to die today, but not

The peacfull straw-death in the bed,

No, they want to be tortured and murdered!

But if they can not even die today

In the bloody martyrdom for Christ,

Then they want to live and that is suffering,

An enduring martyrdom of the heart

Should then be their life and a thousand deaths

They do desire until they finally die!

Yes, one of these very perverse Christians

Once prayed to his white Christ:

Godman, too easy if it were but to die for thee

And then in paradise to be blessed!

The angels are blessed indeed in heaven,

But envy feel with the envy of the angels,

Because we are on earth and can suffer!

Lord, because I love thee so excessive, I will

On earth living die a thousand deaths,

The poor souls from purgatory

Crucified to redeem and to save

And poor sinners lead to repent!

SWEETY

As paradoxical as this is Christianity!

It is called a message of joy, but

they always talk of suffering and sorrow!

MABEL

In contrast, our love goddess is

Surely the blessed giver of bliss

And joys and the most delicious treats!

SWEETY

I'm made out of love, I'm made out of lust,

To beautify love with the beautiful body,

When Christians go after death only

Into Paradise, I will on earth already

In Paradise live, in lustful love!

MABEL

The Christian God is a God of the Cross,

The heathen goddess of love is pure lust!

SECOND SCENE

(The witch Mabel, her young daughter Sweety and Mabel's eighteen-year-old son Daddy, a dirty swineherd standing under a broad chestnut tree, in which is above a tree house, in which Carina is locked.)

SWEETY

Carina is sitting up in the tree!

MABEL

I've included her with a spellbound

In my ill-will magic circle!

SWEETY

Oh, this short red dress I want!

Carina, down with your red dress!

MABEL

You sweet Sweety, thirteen years young,

To discard the long black coat,

Now take off the long black trousers,

Now take off the blue shirt,

Now you stand there in your chemise,

The fine satin white chemise,

The fine satin white panties,

The white breasts spilling out from the chemise,

How white and firm your thighs are,

So you shall see a poet and

Sing of you as a young goddess Venus!

SWEETY

Well, Mama, give Carina command

The red dress to me to throw down!

MABEL

Carina, your divine astral body

And etheric body with the sixth sense

Can you the men show naked!

Keep your bra on,

The black of the finest silk top,

Also keep on your panties,

The black of the finest silk top!

SWEETY

Look, Mabel, to me is this red dress?

MABEL

Yes, the shoulders and arms bare naked,

The skirt extends just to the thigh,

The neckline is low cut, so

The lover can see your breasts,

You're the priestess of the goddess Venus!

SWEETY

So I want to go to the party of Robin Hood,

If the young shepherds will see me,

They forget at once the black bitches!

MABEL

My dear son Daddy, swineherd,

How do you find the naked Carina?

DADDY

I'm just a poor swineherd

And every day rolling around in mud and dirt

And eat with the pigs pig feed

And if it's me itch, I rub myself against the oak.

MABEL

Tell me about the nymph, thou seekest!

DADDY

O nymph, my total sex idol,

I am quite wild with desire for you!

When I see you, your naked charms,

The madness takes me quite out of my mind!

Erotic art thou, full of sex appeal,

Yes, your aura is from hot Cupid!

Surely you're a female fox-ghost,

That magically lives only by man's semen!

Surely you're a Lamia,

Sexy horny reptile of fornication!

I dream every night of your body

And even during the day I dream of you,

As we make love on the green grass,

From above and from below, as I will,

With upper lips and with under lips,

Always you're willing, wild woman of lust!

But now I want you in reality!

I see it but you say, you horny whore,

You wait for the rape!

You provoke me, evil serpent of fire,

Until I have taken you by force!

You want to be raped? Well,

I do it to you with violence,

I tear you in half, you hot mistress,

I love you to death, if you will,

If it makes you horny, I choke up on the neck,

That makes you horny, I gag getting longer,

And if I strangled you by making love,

I trim the lips of your shame

And wear it as a sacred relic

With your red blood, angel, through our country!

SWEETY

Oh, such a passion, my big brother,

I want also loved so much a man,

That he would be ready to kill me!

Yes, if I have to die one day,

So a man shall love me to death!

MABEL

My son, my dear Daddy swineherd,

I'll give you some advice as a mother:

Never let yourself be ruled by a woman,

Always keep your free will.

If a woman have tied you

With her long snake curls shackles

And with the black nets of her stockings,

Then she makes you her least slave!

She will abuse you as you are a slave to labor for her,

Then she will say to you, cut the beard

And cut short the long mane

And please do not wear eye glasses

And put on the clothes that I give you,

Then she will say: Gobble not so much meat,

Eat henceforth nothing but grains and vegetables,

Also smoking is not good for small children,

Then please also drink no wine,

Because red wine is not good for health.

And if you're doing all this obedient,

Then she says, dream no more of me

And stir me not physically,

I'm not only physically untouchable,

Even in fantasy do not touch me,

For your orgasm in the imagination

Stained my immaculate astral body,

I can feel it from a distance already,

If you love me with horny monkey love,

I do not like the rape of the mystical

Astral abdomen in my soul.

My son, if the woman brought you so far,

Then take a sword and stab yourself dead!

But do not want to die by yourself,

Then you booze on the same evening full

And then please bang your naughty sluts,

She shall remember where the rubber meets the road!

DADDY

If I desire a wife, my beautiful mother,

I'll get my mate's every day,

She should move the way I want,

And when I want her to ride on top of me,

Then my wife will ride on top of me,

And when she wants to lie down as Eve,

Then my Eve shall lie willingly under me!

MABEL

That is right, my beloved son!

THIRD SCENE

(The red-haired witch Mabel and her young beautiful daughter Sweety.)

MABEL

Where will you go now, you sweet Sweety?

SWEETY

I want to go to the party of Robin Hood!

Look, that's why I Carina's dress

Even wear, short and fiery red,

That I at the festival of shepherds

The shepherds all can enchant flirty!

MABEL

Yes, live for flirtation only, you sweet woman!

SWEETY

The shepherds, otherwise only with sheep,

They love still flirting,

Yes, one says flirtation,

And yes poets write novels also

Flirtation they call them. Oh flirting

Is everything I want, I just want to play,

I want no evil and want nothing serious,

Will not marriage's everyday boredom

And also not a sacrament of man and woman,

I just want to play teen and joking,

Seduce them with the charms of my body,

To tempt them in the desert, tender kissing,

Make confession of love, harmless,

All this has nothing to signify,

Iit is just a dream, only imagination.

MABEL

Yes, powerful incentive you hall be for the shepherds,

Which otherwise with ewes are all alone,

When they see your young charms,

The narrow waist and flat belly,

The well-formed solid tight breasts

And your ass perfect,

The shepherds then dreaming in solitude

Erotic-delirious dreams at night

And without that they do something evil,

The seed goes in the night sleeping oout of them.

SWEETY

O what power has a beautiful girl!

If mature women also probably want to dance,

They would be ashamed in the land,

If so, a fresh young girl also

Erotic would dance next to them.

MABEL

Yes, men love no old women,

But if they see a young pretty girl,

So philosophers are themselves fools

And the Good Shepherd himself a scapegoat!

SWEETY

O Mama Mabel, you're coming to the party too?

MABEL

I'm also at the festival of Robin Hood,

But since the witch is not tolerated

At the feast of these Christians, I'm

Dressed as Maid Marian, the virgin.

SWEETY

In magical secret science

Can you look to other people's yes

As you want? What is Marian like?

MABEL

Above all, she wears a white dress

Of fine cloth, but not transparent,

The arms are covered up to the hands,

The white silk dress hems down

Not only to the bare thigh,

No, but falling down to the feet.

The feet in the golden sandals

Are naked, but she likes to paint with henna

Red roses on her bare feet.

On her hair is a white veil,

However, not like moslem women

The face veiling, but open

The eyes look like the moon in the world

And her lips smiling lovingly.

The veil only covers the dark hair,

Black brown hair has Maid Marian.

SWEETY

Now imagine once before, a young shepherd,

Who Pan worshiped, who the nymph Eccho loves,

He looks Maid Marian, the white lady,

And he also sees half-naked Venus,

Whom will probably love this young shepherd?

MABEL

Well, Sweety, he will take you at once,

Disappear with you to pleasure in a bush

And you'll make love with sensual pleasure.

However but his heart belongs to the white lady,

At the end he meets her divinity.

If he swallowed up like a plum,

He throws you away, feels disgust only

Before his own horny lust of the flesh

And blames only you as a whore,

The white lady will appear to him then

As Saint Mary or even

As divine Dian, the virgin goddess!

SWEETY

However, I know if this young shepherd

Enough sighed for his chaste goddess,

Who is untainted, but frosty,

Then he again will long for my thighs!

Dian not for ever triumphs over Venus!

MABEL

Dressed when I go to the festival of the shepherds,

I tell you, how do you recognize me.

SWEETY

Yes, how do I know that you're Mabel,

The sorceress, and not Maid Marian?

MABEL

I heard about the Muslims of the Sufis,

They wear under their blue robes

Of the order of Dervishes under the robe

Mysteriously hidden yet the belt,

The belt of their master Zarathustra,

Although he applies to the Muslims as a heretic

And idolater, but the Sufis

But secretly, the old gods yet adore.

So also has some lover of Saint Mary

In his cult of the Great Mother of God

The old Magna Mater still revered,

The Artemis with her nineteen breasts.

SWEETY

Artemis has really nineteen breasts,

Not nineteen scrotums of a bull?

MABEL

That you would like, nineteen testicles!

Now when I walk in the pure white dress

Of Maid Marian and as a beautiful lady,

As a white lady, as Mayden Queene of Maye,

So I wear under the white silk dress

But still Venus' magic belt!

SWEETY

Tell me about Venus' magic belt!

MABEL

When Venus came out of the bath,

Where under the waterfall she showered naked,

She pulled her leg dress of blue linen on

And tied to the blissful hips

Of the goddess Aphrodite her magic belt.

A leather belt it is of snakeskin,

The buckles are very large, of pure silver,

Huge closure at the magic belt,

But it can be casual and lasciviously also hang down

The end of the leather belt, which hangs down

Like a snake dangling around her loins.

SWEETY

Who can solve Venus' magic belt,

The husband, the stinking volcano,

Speak, or even Aphrodite's family friend,

The god Mars, the love-drunken adulterer?

MABEL

The goddess Venus stood in front of god Mars,

Mars, the god stood behind her, he saw the ass

Of the divine Callipigos, the basin

Of the beloved, pelvis cup,

As he summarized the goddess at her hips,

Moving Aphrodite's wide hips!

FOURTH SCENE

(The young shepherd Karol goes with his shepherd dog Elishama walking. Resistant he sighs, looks quite ill from heartache.)

KAROL

Oh, oh, and again nothing but Oh!

My dear Elishama, I confess to you,

That I long with consuming

And hot desire for the Well-Beloved!

Here we went but otherwise in united walk,

I admired the plums on the tree,

From the way I picked up an acorn

And gave it to the great Amica

And Amica smiling softly asked: Karol,

What does that have to mean that you give me

The acorn as a gift, my friend?

Oh, so sublime flirting alone knows

The one whose Cupid is very sublime,

Subtle, sublime! The finest woman!

Oh Elishama, you my faithful friend,

Do you get me? I look in your eyes,

Look into the eyes of a living soul,

They shimmers full of feelings. But you do not think

When I speak of the first cause to you

From the all-moving spirit and the first principle,

That would be a silly soliloquy.

But joy you feel well, and if I come,

Then you jump up on me full of joy.

And love? Elishama, do you know love?

The world speaks of love,

They mean only the shoots!

Also your instincts urge you to love,

Desire you know even after a dog,

You propagate through association,

Yes, even for the puppies to be there.

But Elishama, when a shepherd loves,

He is so pretty to a romance addicted

And raves about his beloved

And can not distinguish between God

And Our Lady and the beloved,

If anything it is just a beautiful love,

If love is all-in-all to him,

World-soul seems to him the Beloved

And he the Beloved's face sees

In the fragrance that rises from the cherry blossom,

Say faithful Elishama, what is this?

But you do not speak, oh dog, you can't speak,

You can not think, dog, and can not speak

And you do not rise above your engine,

Out of love to the dearest to dispense!

Oh, oh, and again nothing but Oh!

(Maid Marian met the lovelorn shepherd Karol.)

MAID MARIAN

I just heard you sighing, Karol.

KAROL

Maid Marian, alas, I am sick of love!

MAID MARIAN

Tell me, what is this: Love? O Karol!

KAROL

Maid Marian, I will sing of love!

MAID MARIAN

In my pocket I put the bone flute,

I will even blow the bone flute

And you, my Karol, shall sing the song of love!

(Maid Marian blowing the flute and Karol singing like a dying swan.)

KAROL

(sings)

Mothers always say:

Tell our children

From nothing but a cheerful glow,

Of strong overcomers,

The angels' laughing joke

Of love in the heart.

Then I say, O mothers,

Is this expected of me,

That I love bitter,

Me cruel can bleed to death?

In love wounded heart

Mired the sword of pain!

The beautiful mothers talk:

Speak of love smile,

Of Eve speak in Eden,

From long lashes fanning,

Merging lit candles,

If one love the hearts!

Then I sigh: O women,

What shall I tell your heirs?

Beauty is a horror!

Love is a dying!

In a thousand deaths' pains

Love glows in the heart!

(Maid Marian infected the bone flute back into her bag and now speaks lovingly tender, almost in a whisper, to comfort the lovelorn shepherd Karol.)

MAID MARIAN

There is probably a woman in your heart?

KAROL

I love Our Lady Mary,

But I love also my girlfriend Amica.

MAID MARIAN

I know she is soul, she is very

Good-natured, and I love her kindness.

KAROL

But my love, oh, is unfulfilled!

The hot ardor is unsatisfied

By Amica and she do not want to breastfeed my ardor!

MAID MARIAN

You know what the saints did?

KAROL

Of one saint, I've heard,

The virgin vowed to live for the Lord.

The maiden was very beautiful and full of charm,

A young man coveted this maiden.

The chaste sister slept in the garden,

It was a hot summer day, as she was

In the grass stretched out and spread

The arms, she lay there in her innocence.

Then the young man came in her garden

And saw the hot soul lie dormant

And lifted the skirt of the chaste and slept with her!

She suffered it full of feminine humility,

But even then she felt no evil desire,

So she remained pure for her heavenly bridegroom.

MAID MARIAN

And Francis, when overwhelmed him desire,

He retired naked in the cold winter

And rolled his naked body in the snow.

KAROL

But I heard from his girlfriend Clare,

That she visited the friend and brother Francis,

When he was in seraphic rapture

And she was in seraphic rapture,

And she rested at his full bosom

And milked milk of consolation from his bosom!

MAID MARIAN

I want you to squirt the milk of consolation

In your mouth, you lovesick Karol!

I have Amica heard yesterday,

I heard her sighing and whispering:

I love you, my dear friend and brother,

I love you too, my dear friend and brother!

KAROL

Oh she loves me, Amica, she loves me too!

FIFTH SCENE

(Robin Hood and his guests, Maid Marian, William Scathlock.)

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, I complain publicly,

You'll be deeply disappointing to me, very deeply

Disappointing, I had believed in you,

You would be my true faithful friend

And would be as a mother for all care,

for the shepherds and shepherdesses beautiful,

The hunters and for all the comrades,

That we with delicious meat have a feast.

MAID MARIAN

Yes; did I not in the Dawn

Hunt the deer, as the Psalmist sung?

ROBIN HOOD

Fooled you have all of us! Not as a friend

Traded us, but as the worst enemy!

We have worshiped you, Maid Marian,

As a heavenly Jerusalem,

You were against us but turned

Like a Whore of Babylon, that drunken

From the blood of the martyrs rides the lion!

MAID MARIAN

How much do you misjudge me and become heretic?

Has your love turned into hate?

What have I done to you, my dear friend?

I have only given you but my heart!

That you make me a reproach, Robin Hood,

That I want my heart to give to you fiery?

ROBIN HOOD

Even Lucifer disguises himself as an angel

And some beautiful woman appears to the man

As a goddess full of goodness,

Till she reveals to him the true face

And he realizes that she is obsessed

From the demons and ruled by Satan.

MAID MARIAN

Specifically! We women love the concrete!

What is it exactly are you accusing me of, my friend?

ROBIN HOOD

You have the deer, intended as our feast,

Leave by William Scathlock presented

To the Witch Mabel who is in league

With Satan and the dark demons!

MAID MARIAN

I did not do! God knows I'm

In truth! Jesus is my witness, that

Satan has no part in me!

ROBIN HOOD

Say, William Scathlock, tell the truth!

Has she sent you with the deer to Mabel?

WILLIAM Scathlock

Maid Marian! With my own eyes

I've seen how you stood before me

In your gleaming white silk dress,

Almost transparent, the sky-blue veil,

Almost transparent, your face radiant,

A lovely smile,

The eyes shone with pleasure and joy,

I've also heard your voice,

Your loving whisper's sweet puffs.

MAID MARIAN

What have you heard from me, my Willy?

SATHLOCK

You sent me with our deer to Mabel!

MAID MARIAN

I did not say that you're lying, Willy,

I never had our deer sent to Mabel,

That you've only thought of yourself!

The whole world stands against me,

It stands to hell, harass me!

(Maid Marian breaks in heart-rending weeping. Their tears fall like sparkling diamonds on the moss.)

SCATHLOCK

Maid Marian, Maid Marian, do not cry!

Do not cry, my beloved mistress!

I believe in you, Maid Marian, I think,

You speak truth, always nothing but truth!

And if the whole world of visibility

And all the evidence in the world also denies

That you speak the truth and nothing but the truth,

And though all men testify

And if a bishop summons it

And scientists could prove it,

The fact that you're wrong and not telling the truth,

I believe in you, Maid Marian, I think,

That you speak the truth and nothing but the truth!

And although my own experience,

The own sensory experience itself,

If my mind, thinking my brain,

If my feeling would deny yourself,

So with the last drop of my blood

On the scaffold, I would still testify:

Maid Marian speaks truth, nothing but truth!

MAID MARIAN

Thank you, my faithful William Scathlock,

That comforts me, that dries my tears,

That I at all the hostility in the world

Still an hero have, one who believes in me.

SCATHLOCK

What is more, lawyer I want to be you,

Maid Marian, your lawyer! however

No develish lawyer, who in front of the court

Would still haggle for the orphans inheritance,

No, but a righteous lawyer.

MAID MARIAN

Yes, you should be hungry for justice!

SCATHLOCK

My good Robin Hood, by our friendship

I beseech you, the matter

More yet to be investigate and

Not to trust the certificate of evidence!

ROBIN HOOD

No, I own the absolute truth,

If you want to be my friend, stand by my side,

Bet my enemies' enemy and strengthen me!

SCATHLOCK

Now, if a hermit and alchemist

In his chemical laboratory discovered,

That we no longer need God the Creator,

Because he himself was in possession of wisdom

And knows how from substances of nature

And from the elements to mix and

From the union in the vial

Of Sol and Luna, this alchemist

A Homunculus can create, and if

His selfmade Golem he

Led stand before his eyes, and made the Golem

Alive as a true monkey jumps and

In particular, as a monkey would be different

And fumbled at his shame

Like monkeys, and understand also, the tool

How to use clever carpenters,

If this alchemist so would prove thee,

God was deposed as Creator, and Man

Knows now by means of the nature to create

And now Man is thus himself Creator

And God does not become a man truly,

Rather, man is God and can create

A new human race from monkeys,

This is now one absolute truth,

What, dear, would you say to that man?

ROBIN HOOD

I would say that Satan him

The evil madness rushed to the neck!

SCATHLOCK

So all examin in more detail

And never doubt Maid Marian!

SIXTH SCENE

(To the previous occurs the witch Mabel.)

MABEL

Maid Marian, I thank you from my heart,

That you sent the noble deer to me!

O such a noble stag, so pure and holy,

Sent in my old kitchen of witches,

This is too much of honor, noble lady!

Maid Marian, how can I ever thank you?

I am profoundly indebted to you!

MAID MARIAN

What are you lying again, false snake Mabel?

It was not me who sent this deer

In your old kitchen of witchcraft,

In truth, he was probably in hot water!

It's not my fault, I was it not,

Who this noble stag sent to you!

I myself have even hunted the deer,

I shoot him as he was going to feed,

My Love's Arrow has mortally wounded him!

MABEL

Maid Marian, certainly, it was you, woman,

Lady, or should I call you Our Lady?

MAID MARIAN

Do you not know whom we dub as a woman

And whom as a lady and as a noble lady whom?

MABEL

We women better shall hold together but,

We are all daughters of a goddess

Of the moon, we, Dian's priestesses.

MAID MARIAN

May your divine Dian but

Can chase the deer with her dogs,

I am the daughter of God, my Lord.

MABEL

I believe a God and Creator also,

Satan created solely rats.

However, in my hut at night scurrying

The rats in the witchcraft's kitchen.

Grandmother of Satan, have mercy,

The rats eat the cheese away from me!

MAID MARIAN

That you may eat all the bread and cheese,

Vegetables and salad and dry grains

And fruit and nuts, but no deer!

The meat of the noblest deer

I've hunted for Robin Hood alone

And Robin Hood's companions in the forest,

Which all faithful are to King Lionheart,

He stands as a knight at the Holy Sepulchre!

WILLIAM SCATHLOCK

All of this is confusing, very confusing,

I do not know if I can trust my eyes

And my mind, the mind of reason.

Maid Marian is adamant,

You have'nt to Mabel sent the deer.

One thing I know but sure, I saw

Chasing our mistress in the forest

And there the deer she killed with her arrows

And then the yummy meat of the noble stag

Sent in the kitchen of our camp.

The chef of the kitchen accepted the deer meat.

ROBIN HOOD

The cook! So summons the soup kitchen,

The roast came something delicious to prepare.

WILLIAM SCATHLOCK

Come on, no snack we want from you,

The plain truth you shall only testify!

COOK

(rushes)

What are you crying so? I'm already on the spot.

SCATHLOCK

Has our mistress brought to you the deer?

COOK

Maid Marian has brought me the deer,

I want it crispy, she said,

Then I will make yummy gravy

And fatty food cook delicious,

Cook Solanum tubers, red cabbage

And plenty of sugar do in the red cabbage

And bay leaves also - though the laurel

But it is better for the playwright,

Who later glorified Robin Hood

In a play on the Globe Theatre.

SCATHLOCK

And that lady has taken the deer,

After they brought him into your kitchen,

Him taken away and sent back

To Mabel, this sorceress of the gods?

COOK

Maid Marian I have not seen

In my kitchen, since she brought me

The deer that I roast him hard crispy.

The witch Mabel came into my kitchen,

In order to talk in the soup kitchen,

Because witches cook always soups.

MABEL

Grandmother of Satan! Ah, I hate you!

You are so arrogant, ye virtuous proud!

Your pious Christians are so inflated!

Does your White Christ did not conquer

The Great Goddess of the shell throne?

No, I do not want your white Christ

And hate everything that is called church!

From England to me eradicates the church,

The Pope is a criminal and the priests

Are worse than the worst murderer,

Christianity is a lie, nothing but a lie,

No, away with your gentle Christian humility

And your religious cult of platonic love!

The strong Goddess with the horny goat

Shall return to celebrate the holy wedding!

COOK

What do you curse, witch, wife of Lucifer?

MABEL

Abraxas! Come, Abraxas, come, Abraxas!

Come on, Demon Ashtaroth! I'll bewitch this

Common cook into a wild boar!

(The cook turns into a wild boar and runs into the thicket of the forest.)

ROBIN HOOD

Now I see, Mabel, that you're evil!

MABEL

The women are always lovely,

They know charmingly to smile always,

An epitome of meekness and humility.

By God Abraxas and Ashtaroth,

By Lucifer and Lilith, bythe dogs

Of hell and the goddess of cats

And the serpent of the Garden of Eden,

I hate your kindness, your love!

No, I want to be evil! I want to be wild and free

And will no law of the Creator recognize!

I myself define, what is good,

I tell you that evil is good,

That good is evil, because I want it so!

Yes, William: fair is foul and foul is fair!

ROBIN HOOD

You're beautiful, but you're evil, Mabel,

Nice from the outside, but inwardly bad,

Yes, your soul is a lake that stinks

Of decay and your god of the flies!

MABEL

Yes, my love is the evil power,

I want eventually go to hell for ever!

ACT THREE

FIRST SCENE

(Sweety in Carina's Habit, followed by the shepherd Karol.)

KAROL

Stop, girl, stop, I know you, oh girl!

SWEETY

Come to me sensationalist, I am the pure spring pleasure!

KAROL

So do not rush and do not flee from me,

Because you're my sister life!

SWEETY

Yes, let us hasten, my beloved, come,

Come with me to the cottage of my mother!

KAROL

Where escaped you, sister-bride?

You forests, where is my soul sister?

Ye deer and ye roes in the forest,

Do you know where my soul sister is?

Ye pigeons in the tops of the chestnuts,

Where is my soul sister now?

Ye squirrels, following your female squirrels,

Where did she go, that dear soul sister?

Ye nightingales in the wild roses,

Oh, how I miss my sister live!

Ye stones, my brothers, cry aloud,

Where has my soul sister live gone?

You nymph Echo at the edge of the forest,

Give answer me: Where is my sister-bride?

Your wild boar, wild pigs' father,

Have you seen the sister-bride life?

You bear, one has robbed you of the boys?

But mutter, bear: Where is my sister?

Oh, she's gone, oh, she's gone, the dearest,

Oh, could I find my sister-bride,

I would bring her in my mother's hut!

She would be with me at my mother's breasts,

We would drank but the same milk of consolation!

If I find my sister,

I would kiss her in Sherwood Forest

And no one can gossip about us

When brother and sister kiss!

SWEETY

(volatile emerging)

Hu, Karol, Karol, dear shepherd, Hu!

Come on, I sensationalist, I am the joy of life,

Come, cash me, I'm the pure spring pleasure!

KAROL

You are there yes, Carina, I recognize you,

Even if you're dead, I know you still,

Because you're a piece of my heart!

SWEETY

(is now calm before Karol, who thinks she is Carina)

Say yes to life, Karol, yes to love!

KAROL

I thought you were dead, my sister of heart!

SWEETY

And if I die, how do you feel then?

KAROL

I don't know that until you died!

For if you live, Carina,my my sister of heart,

Then it is quite unimaginably for me,

That you could suddenly no longer be with me.

SWEETY

Tell me how you would mourn me.

KAROL

I begged Friar Tuck, he would sing

A requiem for you and a Te Deum!

SWEETY

No monk Latin, because I do not understand that.

KAROL

I said, naked came Carina, ah,

Yes, naked she came out of the womb

And naked separates from this earth.

God has given us the naked Carina,

God has made us the naked Carina.

We sing praise to the sweet name of God!

SWEETY

So comforts your Christian faith quickly?

KAROL

My Christian faith would be consolation in mourning,

But my grief would be immeasurable!

To thee not, I cried, my sister,

But to myself I'd stick bitter cries!

The bags under my eyes

Witnessed all over the world, as I am full of sorrow

And in spite of faith am without consolation,

Because I miss you! You are irreplaceable!

My life itself would lose its meaning

And I lost all desire to live

And had no future on earth

And no other hope than death,

Soon to be with you in the womb of God!

SWEETY

Oh, sad, sad, alas, sad, sad!

Tell me again funny stories,

Let every day your heart be only cheerful!

I'm still alive! I'm appetizing?

Come, come, every inch of my candy is for you

And taste just how deliciously I am!

KAROL

Yes, you are my delicious delight!

Life will through you a delicacy!

Oh, your kisses are so deliciously!

(The lovesick shepherd Amour comes melancholic slowly walking closer.)

SWEETY

Amour, the lovesick shepherd, is coming!

Away, away, so I say to my soul,

I do not want to see the love-sick fool

With his fully look of a dog's humility!

He will not lick my high boots

And slavishly submit before me on the floor

And worship me as the supreme goddess

And with the god of love confound me

And drowned in the deepest distress

Pray to my soul: High protection's woman,

Almighty goddess, deliver my soul!

AMOUR

(from afar, singing)

Love brings the pain of death,

Wax consuming glow the candles,

The tears bloody red

I drop out of my wounded heart,

I can never be happy and joking,

Carina, alas, is dead!

Love brings me nothing but suffering,

He wants to gloat over my sorrow

And plunges me in agony,

I must avoid the dearest love

And see me only deposit,

Carina, alas, is dead!

Love brings me martyrdom,

I have to pay for all my sins,

Which offered me life,

I must in the deep valley of tears

To my cross with the pain of all men,

Carina, alas, is dead!

Love of a woman it is that torments me,

I am united with my pain,

I have eaten ashes bread

And drink tears, cleanse me,

O agony, since I certify her death,

Carina, alas, is dead!

SWEETY

(fleeing)

In this valley of tears and vale of grief

With him but I do not want to walk,

I love more fun's realm

And what I want, I'm in love in my heart,

I am happy to be frolic in the pleasure of love!

SECOND SCENE

(Amour and Karol.)

AMOUR

I do believe I saw Carina's spirit!

O God! The dead have been resurrected?

KAROL

How do you saw Carina's spirit? As a shadow?

AMOUR

Just as real she was to me,

I saw her lovely form.

From behind, I saw it: O such ass

Has only Carina, Carina has only

So well-formed pelvis and hips.

When I saw them, the heavens were opened!

KAROL

The heavens? How? Did Jesus drank wine

With the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles?

AMOUR

No, no, certainly not! In heaven Jesus

Drinks no wine, he himself is the wine

And we put a tiny drop of water only in it,

The dissolves in the wide cup an is mixed with the wine.

KAROL

How is Carina in heaven? Naked?

Wears she in the heavens white linen dresses?

AMOUR

I saw the deity, an ocean

Of Beautiful Love in eternity,

The ocean of eternal enjoyment,

The eternity of happiness and joy and gladness;

And lust over lust swept rustling

As waves of eternity

And in the ocean of God's bliss

The ideals of beauty all swam

And all the ideals of my life,

The drunken visions of pure beauty,

They all swam in the ocean

Of Beautiful Love in eternity

And then I saw Carina also not dead,

She was alive, yes, she was deified,

Deified by God, Goddess even she became,

A beautyful young love goddess,

Who emerged from the foam of the breakwater

Of the ocean of everlasting beauty of love

As a naked goddess of eternal enjoyment!

KAROL

Who sees such, must be blissful.

AMOUR

I wretch! I, poor Atlas!

The whole world of pain I have to carry!

I am in absolute solitude,

When I'm alone, I'm lonely, and

Even when I'm with people, so I

Am lonely! Nobody wants to be loved by me!

So I give my love to the dead!

(Clarion, the shepherd, and the shepherdess Mona Leone come and contact Karol.)

CLARION

O Karol, Amica longed for your coming!

(Amour melancholic slow walking away.)

KAROL

I long for her, too much I like Amica!

MONA LEONE

What's wrong with Amour just going, my friend?

KAROL

He is so full of melancholy, full of sorrow,

So melancholy and so lonely, oh,

His heart is too tender for the world

And everywhere missed his heart love.

CLARION

Yes, it's chilly to be human.

KAROL

Amour just want to be alone,

Because he is among the living

Not quite at home more, he just wants

To think of his dead beloved.

Often it seems to him that hovers around him her spirit,

Then he will not be disturbed by children

Of the world, he then wants to indulge his dream.

CLARION

What are the living and the dead what?

KAROL

Amour seems to feel more but that

The living are in truth the dead,

The spirits of the dead but very much alive.

Confidantly he goes with the dead

As with the survivors of this world,

That do have the name that they live,

In truth, however, with cold hearts are dead.

MONA LEONE

I feel pity for the poor shepherd.

Oh, may God comfort him from heaven!

Oh, he may yet in the dawn

Hear the bell of the forest chapel

Of the hermit Columban and hear

The bleating of young lambs early in the morning,

That God the peace in his spirit will lower.

KAROL

Amour would be half comforted, dear Mona

Leone, when he felt that a good

And gentle girl with him have compassion.

MONA LEONE

I love him, strange as it sounds,

On my way I also love Amour.

KAROL

His heart wants but do not be comforted.

CLARION

But what concerns Amica, my friend,

What is there with your longing?

KAROL

Oh, now I've dreamed about her at night,

She had a shepherd as a husband,

But I was in their sheepfold

Ransacked with Amica alone and we

Together with love look to the bed

And then sat, tired of love,

On nice chairs in front of the fireplace,

Then in came a friend of her husband

And looked at us and then said to me:

O Karol, Amica is yet assigned,

You'll never be happy with the Beloved!

Then he said, still: Now comes the husband

From his pasture, from the pastoral office,

He stands just outside the door and enters the same,

For you, O Karol, remains a way out only,

You'd have to just escape through the window.

CLARION

Oh, that was not a nightmare, that the girlfriend

And beloved Amica awarded

Vain to another man, and you still

Love with all the depth of your heart?

KAROL

No, because as nice as the tasted sweet pleasure

Of love was in the bed of Amica,

And because I knew but by myself in my dream,

That Amica loves me, yes, loves me!

CLARION

But I realize you want to go now. Where?

KAROL

I want to see Amour, the poor shepherd,

That he in the melancholy

Derangement of his love-sick soul

Not yet hang himself on an oak tree.

MONA LEONE

Go, seek him, Karol, you faithful friend

And travel, shepherd with the shepherd,

And if his life is in ruin

After the death of his beloved Carina,

You remember him of the foundation,

That he in the womb of God still lives and moves!

KAROL

What would my life be without him?

Amour holds together but my soul!

I will pray to his patron, the patron of his love.

MONA LEONE

His patron saint? Who is that saint?

KAROL

Saint Cupid, who rules the world!

THIRD SCENE

(Sweety alone in the forest.)

SWEETY

They all want me to wife,

Only because I have so red hair!

Dryads, never I'll take a man!

I am married to the great goat!

(Mabel appears.)

MABEL

I meet my beautiful daughter

In Sherwood Forest, and she is speaking

With the Dryads in the chestnut tree.

O Sweety, where chestnut trees stand,

There's sociability and cheerfulness.

The veiled buds are like young girls,

The oaks are such men as heroes,

The houses are full of motherly wisdom.

Do you know the alphabet of the trees

And the secret of vowels also?

A is the birth of the goddess-son,

For Christmas is at the winter solstice,

E is the initiation of the hero,

When day and night are of equal length,

U is the Hieros Gamos of our goddess

With our heathen god at Saint John's night,

At the summer solstice, when the goddess

Made her wedding bed in the heather

And right mated the queen bees

With the hero who dies in the wedding,

O is the harvest season, the grape harvest,

When the blood of grapes molded on bare legs

Of the women who stamps the clusters,

And Bacchus, the ancient god

Gets drunk beyond measure with the red wine,

I is the dark midnight of the soul,

The sun god disappears in the womb

Of the Great Mother Night, newborn

As the Son of God, the Great Mother's son.

SWEETY

I was born while in the skies

The Pleiades rain in the moons of

The scorpio, which is under Pluto's reign,

What, mother Mabel is my destiny tree?

MABEL

You shall always hold you fast at Kalmus,

Yarrow is assigned to the kidneys,

The kidneys are under Venus' rule,

There are the scales of justice

Of the goddess Maat. But where Pluto rules

And where the moon is in the house of the scorpion,

Then stir in men and women in the bodies

The sexual organs, phallus and vagina,

The phallic god mates of goddes of the vagina!

This marriage is blessed by the Kalmus.

(Robin Hood appears in the distance.)

SWEETY

O Mabel, Mabel, here comes Robin Hood!

MABEL

I turn into Maid Marian!

O goddess Ashtaroth! O god Abraxas!

Hoc Corpus - hocus-pocus, mumbo-jumbo!

(Mabel appears in the habit of Maid Marian. Beneath her white robe is still to see the mighty wide magic belt. Added Robin Hood occurs and thinks the witch Mabel is his mistress Maid Marian.)

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, how beautiful you are dressed,

Your white dress is whiter than the snow,

Your garment of light is brighter than lightning,

So white your dress, so white it can no fuller

With bleach stain, my white lady!

MABEL

What do you want from me, o Robin Hood?

ROBIN HOOD

I want to look you in your eyes again.

MABEL

I dreamed this morning awakening,

We were already for millions of years,

For a hundred million years ago, one

As lovers from the first day of creation!

ROBIN HOOD

So white your dress, it lights still as white,

Like air full of light, the ether aura,

I see shining through your breathed robe ...

MABEL

What do you see shimmering? Robin Hood, my friend,

As to penetrate a man looks sharp

The lightweight dress of his Well-Beloved

And naked see in imagination the body

Of the Well-Beloved! Think not

In the abundances of your imagination,

That you touch my body, erotic,

The naked and coveted body, and dishonor

Yourself, defile yourself in the fantasy

And overwhelm my naked body

In your imagination with pleasure's violence

And do not dishonor my soul in the body

And do not rape your beloved!

ROBIN HOOD

Maid Marian, you will not be raped

By me, you are loved by Robin Hood!

Not naked I'll see you under the guise of breath,

I see Venus' wide magic belt

From snakeskin to your pelvis hang!

I open your charms belt, O Venus!

(Robin Hood tears Mabel with force the magic belt from her broad basin.)

MABEL

Be thou cursed for all eternity!

(Mabel, without magic belt, lose the habit Maid Marian and is back as the witch Mabel.)

SWEETY

O Great Goddess Mabel, my mother,

I am the servant of the Mother Goddess!

MABEL

Hecate, the goddess of all witches,

The goddess of magic and sorcery,

The goddess who reigns at the crossroads, Goddess,

More strongly than even the evil Hades,

Help me to curse all the shepherds!

SWEETY

Yes? Will I now privy to

The magic of the black goddess Hecate?

MABEL

I call: energeia, energeia,

Force-effects of the spirits in the universe,

Curse the shepherd and the flock of Christians!

SWEETY

The great goddess curses all Christians!

MABEL

I call Isis, Queen of the Moon,

I call Hecate, the sorceress,

I call Cybele, the Magna Mater,

I call Persephone, the goddess of death,

I call Venus, goddess of free love,

I call Pluto, which gives richness,

I call Heracles, which tightens muscles,

I call Pan, the great goat!

SWEETY

Ye gods and goddesses of their peoples,

Unite and curse all Christians!

MABEL

We write Robin's name on paper

And stab with the needle in the finger

Of Maid Marian, with her drops of blood

We dedicate Robin Hood to the Great Goat,

In red blood drops of Maid Marian

Appears the face of Robin Hood,

We write him on his Christian forehead

The number of Aphrodite: Sex, sex, sex!

SWEETY

Hail Natas, hail the great goat! Sex, sex, sex!

FOURTH SCENE

(Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Karol, Amica, shepherds and shepherdesses.)

SHEPHERD

The evil has been shown in figure,

We know that witchcraft and

Blackmagic of occult demons

Is caused, where Satan is the ruler.

What do we want? With little lambs play,

Rest on a golden fleece of ewes,

The surge black goats from the hills

To see flow like the hair of the beloved,

But the evil disturbs us, the enemy of God!

SHEPHERDESS

We just want peaceful blown the flute!

SHEPHERD

You shall leave us the silence in the meadows

And do not disturb our quiet peace!

The evil people believe themselves to be gods

And have nothing in mind but to plague us,

To rob us of the silent peace of mind.

God Almighty distributes the wicked!

We are left at bay with their elixirs

And their spells, their doctors

In the mystery of iniquity,

We just want to listen to the spring air!

SHEPHERDESS

We just want peaceful blow the flute!

SHEPHERD

The evil power is as the great gods,

As white gods even in linnen dresses,

We do not fall down for their deception!

Oh, when the bells are ringing on the lambs

And when the chapel bell is ringing,

Silent in religious delusion, the hermit

His Hail Mary mumbles each evening hour,

Then we find peace in nature.

We want only to dream of beautiful love!

SHEPHERDESS

We just want eaceful blow the flute!

SHEPHERD

Whether or not the evil enemy disturbs the peace

And in the dull walls of his prison

In vials with toxic elixirs

Together the bride and the death poisons mixed,

The shepherdesses gives peace again

To the shepherd when he listens to her voice.

We want to celebrate only cheery love!

SHEPHERDESS

We just want peaceful blow the flute!

SHEPHERD

Yes, shepherdesses, blast the shepherd's flute!

SHEPHERDESS

Maid Marian is different but as Mabel!

You shepherd, sing a song of Maid Marian,

Praise the woman in exchanging song of the Muses!

FIRST SHEPHERD

When I Maid Marian for the first time

Sitting near the fire saw the first of May,

I chose her for the Queen of May,

Which slender as a veil is.

I looked at her, the androgynous Grace

Of feminine beauty, and I thought:,

This is surely the angel Gabriel!

As I walked up to the lady, I asked:

Are you a girl or even an angel?

I think you're the angel Gabriel!

Maid Marian quietly smiling looked at me

And said: I've never heard that!

O Syrinx, bubble us the flute of Pan!

SECOND SHEPHERD

When I was walking in the green forest,

Maid Marian I saw standing at the tree,

She looked at me with warm eyes,

Veiled was her head of long hair,

Her eyes flashed sparks full of life,

Her face was full of earnestness and yet full of smiles,

The eyes looked as a wise woman full of wisdom,

I thought, I saw the sacred Madonna!

O Syrinx, blow the flute of Pan!

FIRST SHEPHERD

From my beloved shepherdess

I heard that Maid Marian was almost dead

And was already with one foot in the afterlife

Where she met Jesus the Messiah

And the Lord has sent her back to earth,

So she is no woman, she is an angel!

O Syrinx, blow the flute of Pan!

SECOND SHEPHERD

I saw Maid Marian in a circle of women,

But all the other women seemed

Nettles and thistles only and thorns,

But Maid Marian was a rose,

No, a white lotus flower!

Maid Marian is much like the Madonna!

Madonna is in heaven a goddess,

Maid Marian on earth a goddess!

O Syrinx, blow the flute of Pan!

SHEPHERDESS

The first shepherd I donate a goat,

Specifically, a fat black goat,

The second shepherd I donate a cup,

Specifically, a broad full cup!

O Syrinx, blow the flute of Pan!

(Karol and Amica came out and stand under a large chestnut tree.)

KAROL

Amica, Oh how beautiful to see you!

AMICA

Oh Karol, rather I could not come

For my lambs, which had been lost.

KAROL

When you were not there, I was forsaken by God!

AMICA

The God-forsaken Jesus is with you!

KAROL

But in the morning I found new hope,

I heard you talking in my head,

You whispered sweet delights of love.

AMICA

You're a man! Do not forget, I am chaste!

KAROL

Then I saw in the eas, the sun rising,

Then I thought: Amica rises in the east!

AMICA

Yes, if I so live in your soul,

Am I really one human being that you love?

Do you love not only a pure ideal

And you give the ideal the name Amica?

KAROL

I saw your face in my mind,

You were a smiling goddess.

AMICA

I just thought of you.

KAROL

What did you think of me, o girlfriend?

Oh, say it better not, it could be

The fact that you think, he should not covet me!

AMICA

Lust is not love, but love

Is selfless, leads the other to heaven.

KAROL

You are even my sweet paradise!

AMICA

And idolatry is not love.

KAROL

And ardently I should not be?

AMICA

No, love purely and without passions,

Apathetic stay in the peace of mind

And love chaste and undefiled as God.

KAROL

God is himself is passionately loving!

God loves and wants to counter our love!

AMICA

Only be strong. I love you too fond.

FIFTH SCENE

(The son of the witch and swineherd Daddy stands in front of the tree, where is imprisoned Carina.)

DADDY

I want you, O lovely Carina!

You shalt only be mine own!

Three powers are in the heart of man indeed,

Three passions that move people:

Purchase does a man possess,

If wants the man to dominate the whole world,

To mate wants the man his wife and testify!

Carina, you are my passion

Of passions: I want you to acquire,

But I do not want to advertise as a minstrel

With a Mandolin in front of the balcony,

To earn nothing but geraniums,

To purchase I want you, more precisely,

I said, I do not even want you to acquire

With money as a vulgar whore

No, you shall pay me money, but I

Will catch you like a booty me

And rob you and steal yourself from the world!

So I want you! I myself am

Obsessed with the idea of having you,

You very own self and

With you to turn and to manage

With something that I very own,

What no one may take me away and no one

May have you as I own you and what

Yourself can not steal from my hand,

So I want to possess you, you to me

The security in this life shall give,

Then I'll build the temple of my life.

I will dominate you and your body!

Yes, power, that is magic! And I am mighty,

For I beseech your soul with

Secret spells and control

Your thinking through the wisdom that Abraxas

And Ashtaroth highly awarded to me by you,

Above all, I want to rule over

Your body popular that your body

No longer thine own lust serve,

No, that your body is my love slave

And belongs to me, my lust serve,

You do all that I ask of you

And you in every way shall mydesire

Satisfy, as I myself would like it!

You are my passion of passions,

You divine Dryad, come forth!

(Carina comes from the tree hole, in which she was captured and stood before Daddy. Carina is very appetizing to look at and daddy waving excited for lust.)

Ah, so if I see you, most coveted,

So I'm going to a garden, God!

Worship, glory and honor, thanks and praise

Be to god Priapus, the eternal Priapus!

O, when I think of you, sweet wife,

So I see the almighty Priapus

His phallus standing, a proud God, God's omnipotence!

The phallus is the Sirius in the sky

And the testes are the Dioscuri-gods,

But you are the Venus of the Stone Age,

Omnipotent godlike your breasts,

Which udder equal to the golden celestials,

But your hips are the cup of God,

In which I want the sparkling wine splash!

You love so much the transparent silk,

You sacred courtesan, harlot of God,

I want the silk tear thee from the womb!

Do you love so much the transparent material,

I want to put on my steep phallus

The transparent bag which is made

From bull intestine, put me on the bag!

I will leap on you, just like the bull

Jumps on the cow from behind, or as

The moose with his erected penis

His wife from behind powerful will copulate!

But you're not willing, I must use force!

Then I'll rip your clothes from the body

And throw you naked on the floor,

With one hand I shut you to

And with the other hand and with the arm

I pull your legs apart

And throw my body on your

And bump my God in your vagina

And stumble to and fuck you to death!

Yes, my lust I want to have on you,

Your flesh I will use you for my pleasure!

Only away with all the slavery of the Church,

Only away with the bigoted prudery!

I have shoots that are all-powerful,

And you're my gratification!

I have a god-like phallus,

You have the scabbard for my sharp sword!

So spread your legs, let fuck you,

Otherwise I spread your legs myself, wife,

And lead my sharp sword in your scabbard,

Whether you also bleeding from my sword!

God Priapus commands, I obey him!

(The shepherd Clarion comes from a distance closer and sings.)

CLARION

(sings)

O pure Venus without passion,

You flawless, pure,

Woman, I love you, who creates the world,

Not a vulgar whore.

O eternity of sweet vitality,

You creatrix of love,

How everything develops through the juice

Full of thy gods' shoots!

Venus, you O great God-nature,

Create all your powers,

The whole universe is your creature,

The spirits and monkeys.

Venus, give me your sweet favor,

Spray the foam on the rock,

You weave my fate, teach me the art

In love to merge!

Mistress Charity, my highest queen,

I bet in your honor,

From you all love is coming and what I am,

I swim in your sea!

Mistress Charity, supreme beauty queen,

I am by your grace,

All your waves I surrender,

I bathe in love!

Mistress Charity, my ecstasy trunk,

Mixing the wine cup broad,

In drunken sobriety my head I drown,

Of fate's breakwater!

Venus of the pure angel spirit,

In your lust I bathe,

Throwr my fate to the beach,

Lust waits on the strand!

DADDY

Who comes there with a priest's litany?

O sex goddess Venus! You, Carina, hide yourself

In the tree far away from the profane gaze of the man,

Who love celebrates like a sanctuary

And knows nothing of the wildest smut!

(Daddy hides Carina back in the tree column.)

SIXTH SCENE

(Clarion is under the tree, where is banned Carina. He hears a melody that is hummed silently.)

CLARION

I hear a lovely song,

I hear a comforting music,

That speaks to my soul, makes me feel good.

The organ music of the earth is certainly beautiful,

But more beautiful is the organ of the heavens.

The wind blows on the flute of the strong oaks

And nightingales sing for the roses.

The whole earthly nature appears

Me as music. I really believe that the Creator

In the beginning took his psalterion

And emphasized the harp strings of his psalterion

And from the high notes became angels

And from the deep tones became monkeys

And men are like angels and like monkeys.

Music is the vibration of the psalterion of God.

I think of Carina, singing notes,

How she sang French romances

And also how fine she sang Christmas carols

With her angelic voice of a pure child.

Music is made for lovers,

Music is made for those who mourn,

And this melody that I hear now,

Is like egyptian hieroglyphics magical,

Is a magical evocation of the beloved.

Yes, indeed, here comes Amour walking!

AMOUR

(While Clarion under the tree)

I want to hug this treel,

For a harmony emanates from the tree,

That comforts my sorrowful soul.

But I can not love instead of Carina

Dryads, nymphs in trees.

The wise men of this world try me

To console about my darling's death

And say: Just go always in the forest,

The creator of nature is there to comfort you,

The creator of nature will speak to you

And give you love when you his trees

Embrace and take in your soul the power of trees.

So mock me the wise men of this world,

For what a lover becomes the beloved

Confused with the nymphs in the trees?

But now I seem to be crazy,

Because I hear the soul of nature

And hear the music of the creator

Of nature me buzzing with Carina's voice!

CLARION

This is a mystical song, isn't it?

AMOUR

This is Carina's voice, but not

Carina in the dress of mortality,

Carina has already stored the dress

Of mortality and is immortal now

The angels sister, my female angel!

So is this heavenly music

Music of the angels. When the angels sing

In the ninth choir of the hierarchy of angels,

Then they sing French romances.

The tongue of French is the tongue of love,

This is Carina's tongue, the tongue

Of the angels who warbles of love.

Often also rise the angels and Muses

From the mountain Parnassus

And ascend to the choir of Gabriel

And Michael and Raphael and get

Higher in the Elysian Fields

To the principalities of the virtues,

Where virtues sojourn in laurel wreaths,

And powers, glories and dominions

Love hymns are singing to the deity,

And rise to the young Cherubini

And the seraphim, the seraphic

Fire-serpents of sublime incandescence

Combines the sound with the gods' thrones

To the passionate Love of the Lord

And then thunder in the heaven of heavens,

As the organ of the heavens, Te Deum!

If there are angels and angel together

On their islands of bliss,

They worship freely

Then whistle as amorous nightingales

The French romances again

And rave about the joy of puppy love

And, abiut the sugar of this time, lust,

Because they enjoy the bliss

With intoxicating ecstasy of love!

CLARION

I do not follow you, dear friend,

I'm not at home in the heavens.

Never has so taken me by force

The mystical ecstasy, as you

Like the rage catch yourself up.

Do not forget I'm only a poor shepherd,

I do dispute the mother's love and the ewes

And I know lambs grazing in lilies,

I know the creator of nature, but

The angelic tongue I do not know.

(Above Clarion and Amour appears the little hand of Carina.)

AMOUR

O heaven, heaven, I see the hand of God!

Yes, God stretches out his hand from heaven!

Quickly, my soul, I want to go to confession!

(Amour away hurriedly.)

CLARION

O white hand, O sweet woman's hand,

To you I will worship, o dear hand!

From your hand so sweet graces come,

I do believe that your hand ful of grace

Even on Good Friday is full of love!

When I look at the cunning fingers,

How they know sweet to caress,

Then pours a stream of sweet happiness through me!

With this hand ful of the most beautiful woman's graces

Touch you the loins of my mind

And lead me to your way of love!

O woman's hand, O woman's hand full of grace,

In the Old Testament the servant

Puts his hand in an oath to Abraham

On his loins, so he swore to him a covenant of love!

O hand, grant me the grace but once again,

To swear by the subject of circumcision.

Whether I still have my foreskin,

You take me into the alliance of

The circumcised and graft the wild branch

In your noble fig tree, and so

You okuliere and you copulate

And graft the wild branch to the fig tree,

On that I bring fruit of penance!

Then put your woman's hand full of grace

On my head full of blood and wounds, caress, caress,

Caress the head of blood and wounds!

From your woman's hand full of sweet grace

So sweet love graces flow out,

That electric enthusiasms showers through me

From the bright flashes of God!

And all life force and life instinct

I layt trustfull in your hand

And pour all the pearls of my soul

In your loving woman's hand.

You receive in the palm of your hand

All my love glowing effusions!

(Suddenly emerging gray mist veiled the whole scene.)

SEVENTH SCENE

(Suddenly the dense fog dissolves. Mabel with Sweety and Daddy.)

MABEL

O morning mist, you o white veil,

O evening mist, you o white veil,

The people all see cataracts

And do not see the goddess of nature,

Who is shrouded in dense fogs.

SWEETY

Where the fog is so sudden, Mabel?

MABEL

You call me Mabel? Say Mom!

SWEETY

Oh, dear, I want to say to you Mabel,

Your name alone, O Mabel, is

Magic, is pure magic of the Goddess.

DADDY

I have a children's song in my soul.

MABEL

My boy, sing the children's song!

DADDY

(sings)

O Mom, let your face shine on me,

You must not weep for your boy,

O Mom, sweet Mom!

O Mom, let you tear me shudder,

You must not grieve for your boy,

O Mom, sweet Mom!

O Mom, look to me like barn owls,

You must not cry at your boy,

O Mom, sweet Mom!

MABEL

Look, Sweety, Daddy calls me Mom yet.

DADDY

No, Mabel, when I sing about Mom,

I mean the great goddess Mom!

MABEL

I am the great goddess' priestess,

And that the world does not see the goddess

So naked, as I see her spiritual,

So I gave the white veil of the nebula.

For if the people our love goddess

Would see in her bare nakedness,

As I see her forever in the mind,

The goddess' white breasts, white as milk,

Like lightning she would human beings make blind!

DADDY

People always talk about Carina,

As if they know her like me.

I want her all to myself!

MABEL

Yes, that's why I gave the thick fog,

So that Amour and Clarion and Karol

And all the other fools of the pastoral

Don not discover your well-beloved Carina

In her column, banned in the tree.

DADDY

Do please spell circles around Carina,

That not the shepherds come too close.

MABEL

Yes, I want to draw circles around Carina.

O Nostradamus, help me in magic,

That even the black and white shepherds' dogs

Not exceed this pentagram.

DADDY

If I with witchcraft's occult spirits

Can capture and summon Carina,

So she is like an incubus all mine!

I'm going as a Satanic Warlock

In the haunted lap of Carina to testify

Demons' sons who curse the world!

MABEL

Yes, you testify in the spirit demonic sons,

That they are faithful obedient to their father Satan!

DADDY

I'll bewitch for me the Incubus Carina,

That she the old goat Satan

Adoring kisses his ass!

MABEL

O Daddy, you swear to Satan's number,

Swear to Satan loyalty, swear: Sex, sex, sex!

DADDY

I bring to the shepherds songs

'That they sing the great hero Natas!

O Natas, help us, O Lord and Master!

MABEL

They do not know what they are singing, fools,

But they worship the old Satan!

DADDY

The shepherds I igive nstructive songs, dances

The shepherdesses, that they sing to the dances:

O sex, sex, sex! They look forward to it

Or do not, they praise Satan's number!

MABEL

Curse this childishly pure Lamb's Festival,

The Christians curse, adhering to Christ!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse each hermit, alone,

Only considering living the wisdom of God!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all the priests, that gaze eastward

And see the host of God's sun!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse each fat monk who enjoys meat

And every night drinks a bottle empty!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse all the bigots who

To Rome look to the Pope!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse all pious mothers who refuse to

Abort their own bodies fruits!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all the monks who respect the children,

As if they were all Jesus children!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all Christians, the missionaries

Who in the world evangelize the gentiles!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all the knights who go on cruise,

Christians to protect at the tomb of God!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all the pastors that feed the flock,

And do not flee when the wolves come!

SWEETY AND DADDY

On behalf of all the old gods, curse!

MABEL

Curse to all the women who love Saint Mary!

On behalf of our ancient goddess, curse!

EIGHTH SCENE

(All shepherds and shepherdesses, guests at Robin Hood's feast, stalking through the woods.)

SHEPHERDS

We read marks on the black earth,

We read tracks in the wet grass.

Where is the witch that we banish her!

SHEPHERDESSES

Let our dogs smell her trace!

SHEPHERDS

To determine the direction, read

We from the moss in the west of the bark.

SHEPHERDESSES

The time and hour says to us the sun.

SHEPHERDS

Our compass always points north.

In the north, the mighty mountain is magnetic.

Even if we were in the deep south,

The needle always pointed north.

SHEPHERDESSES

In the north, at midnight, there lives

The evil, sitting on the mountain of the gods!

SHEPHERDS

Once we overcome the evil enemy,

We gather us in Arcadia's meadows.

SHEPHERDESSES

We too were once in Arcadia's meadows!

SHEPHERDS

The evil forces leave us no peace,

Until we overcome Satanism,

We otherwise find no peace of mind.

SHEPHERDESSES

But we want to have apathety

And as the Cynics modest live

With only water and hot pea soup.

SHEPHERDS

But we do not want to be apathetic,

We want passion and fire of love!

SHEPHERDESSES

This we will find, everything, when the witch

Is expelled from Sherwood Forest.

SHEPHERDS

Robin Hood's boys are still singing!

SHEPHERDESSES

To Maid Marian then sing the poets!

SHEPHERDS

Here ends her trail, the witch lives

Here behind the wild roses' hedge

In her hut with the devil's kitchen.

(The shepherds and shepherdesses penetrate the roses' hedge and see the hut of the witch Mabel. The door is open. Mabel is sitting in the devil's kitchen and modeled a wax figure of Robin Hood and stabs needles into the wax doll and muttering spells.)

MABEL

Now, Robin Hood, I penetrate your hands,

The nail I'll smash through your hands,

Now, Robin Hood, I penetrate your feet,

The nail I'll smash through your feet,

Now, Robin Hood, I penetrate your brows,

The thorns I bore into your forehead,

Now, Robin Hood, I penetrate your heart,

I drill the spear in your heart!

Abraxas, Ashtaroth! Come, demons!

(The witch takes new wax, modeling a wax doll of Maid Marian and pierced needles into the wax doll and mutters spells.)

Maid Marian, now I'll stab you in the heart,

Wounded shall be your heart of thorns,

Yes, seven swords pierce you through the heart!

Abraxas, Ashtaroth! Come, demons!

SHEPHERDS

O Saint Mary of the bush of roses,

Come to our aid, great Mother of God!

SHEPHERDESSES

With those your merciful

And tearful eyes lead us

Away from this dark devil's kitchen!

SHEPHERDS

Thou, Virgin, step the snake on the head!

SHEPHERDESSES

Thou Second Eve, our Garden of Eden,

Fight against the dark angel Lucifer

And all occult demons!

SHEPHERDS

Mary, great woman of revelation,

Throw the astrologers and witches down

And magicians and all evil spirits and

Also every goblin, every night-ghost

And all the spirits of the elements

And Lilith and the rats' god throw down!

(From the sun comes to the earth the great fiery Archangel Ariel, accompanied by a mighty god-lion. The god-lion roars, the witch Mabel scares, the Archangel Ariel throws a flame in the devil's kitchen, which is consumed in the fire to ashes. then the seraphic Archangel Ariel applies the shepherds and shepherdesses.)

ARIEL

In the name of Divine Trinity

In Union - now live in the spirit of freedom!

Who slave is of the Mother of God,

Even deeper than a slave, who greets her Hail,

Who the mistress greets in her throne chair,

Them solves the Mother of God every bond!

Only those who are bound to the true God,

As God's servant, has found freedom!

Who wants to be free in arrogance and pride,

Not enslaved to the Saviour of the world,

Who will redeem himself full of pride,

He remains lowest servant of the power of evil!

With the great murder of children, with Herod,

The sinner is enslaved servant of death!

But all who themselves to God's Mother consecrate,

Them only free the Mother of God!

By Solomon and Nathan, the seer,

The Virgin only frees you from Satan!

Because you greet the Virgin Immaculate

Full of grace, she will send you her angels!

My name Ariel means fire of God,

From this labyrinthine adventure

I am leading you to the fire of love, God's flock!

Who comes to the fire, freed from the scorn of scorns,

Who comes to the fire of God without shoes,

Who discalced run to rest,

Pacified be all his life instincts

By the hot flame of Beautiful Love!

(The Archangel Ariel is progressing, the shepherds and shepherdesses follow the Archangel into a clarity, illuminated by the brightest spring sun, to them are joined Robin Hood and Maid Marian.)

ROBIN HOOD

Here I stand, I can not help me, O lady,

God wants it, O woman: I love you!

MAID MARIAN

I also, I also, I love you in the spirit!
