This
scene is based on e.e. cummings' poem Chanson
Innocente about "bettyandisbel" and "eddieandbill"
in "Just spring." [The lack of capitalization and
spacing are cummings, not mine.] However, in
cummings' poem, Pan is a "lame balloonman." Here he
is a music maker:
Come, trip as you go,
On the light fantastic toe.
John Milton's "L'Allegro"
