First I'll pronounce from whence I come and then introduce each and every one.

My name being Nag, I am the narrator. I'm based in The Garret, introduced later.

Now follows our troupe, an interesting groupe:

The Pig Faced Lady. Who chews victuals from a silver trough as pigs do
& when spoken to answers by grunting, I rue.
 

The Captain. A cowardly braggart and teller of tales tall;
 

The feller, Ralph Roister Doister. A comedian all in all.

The loathly lady. The ugliest, most loveliest, most liveliest, living thing.

Miss Bufoceratias. Being once and for a long time a fish,

we found-her

deep in lightless water where,

on invitation she joined us here.

Now that you are introduced, there really is no excuse;
So come attend and bring a friend, you lily-livered goose!
