CHORUS OF INVISIBLE HOODOOS:

Hoodoo, hoodoo, voudou-vet

Villiam struggles in the net!

By the power and intent

Of the charm his strength is spent!

By the virtue in each rag

Blessed by the Inspired Hag

He will be a willing victim

Limp as if a donkey kicked him!

By this awful incantation

We decree his animation--

By the magic of our art

Warm the cockles of his heart,

Villiam, if alive or dead,

Thou Saralthia shalt wed!

_(They cast the garments into the grave and push over the

coffin. Grimghast fills up the hole. Hoodoos gradually become

apparent in a phosphorescent light about the grave, holding one

another's back-hair and dancing in a circle.)_
