THE MIRROR'S SONG

You who hold me in your hand,
You were fairest in the land;
But, to-day, I tell you true,
Snow White is more fair than you!

[With a scream of rage the Queen would dash the Mirror to the floor, but the Witch rescues it just in time.

The Witch. Stop! Stop! Stop! Gracious! Listen to me, now. If you ever break that Mirror you will become as ugly as you really are and for life, too! None of my spells can beauty you again either, for the Mirror is made with those same charms. [Scornfully.] I thought you knew enough common, every-day magic for that!

The Queen. [Pacing up and down, weeping with rage.] But Snow White is more beautiful than I! Snow White is more beautiful than I!

The Witch. [Mocking her.] Snow White is more beau-hoo-hoo-tiful than I? Stop that wauling.
