Maggiore Fretta Minore Atto
Tom speaks of what old heroic legends say:
Red dragons of the night take haste.
Tom tells Huck, "We must find a dungeon fast.
Find dusty wine bottles from yesterday,
the prisoner must be drunk on Beaujolais.
Dirty rag prisoner is a true-blue outcast,
appearing with no hope, Jim sad faced.
Get this all staged before the ends-day."
Huck asks, "Are you saying this soberly,
All of this romance is a huge drain.
Why all the heavy work for levity?
These are heroic plans made by scatterbrains."
Tom replies, "Huck we shall take heart
for this escape is a piece of art."
