Lyrics The Blue Juniata as first published ref Sullivan, The Blue Juniata Sheet music . ref Wild roved an Indian girl, Bright Alfarata, Where sweep the waters Of the blue Juniata Swift as an antelope Through the forest going, Loose were her jetty locks, In many tresses flowing. Gay was the mountain song Of bright Alfarata, Where sweep the waters Of the blue Juniata. Strong and true my arrows are, In my painted quiver, Swift goes my light canoe Adown the rapid river. Bold is my warrior good, The love of Alfarata, Proud waves his snowy plume Along the Juniata. Soft and low he speaks to me, And then, his war cry sounding, Rings his voice in thunder loud, From height to height resounding. So sang the Indian girl, Bright Alfarata, Where sweep the waters Of the blue Juniata.

one source date July 2011 Shakes versus Shav 1949 is a puppet play written by George Bernard Shaw . It was Shaw s penultimate dramatic work. The play runs for 20 minutes in performance. The play was written by Shaw for the Lanchester Marionettes who were based in their own theatre in Foley House, Malvern, Worestershire, UK. The company s founders, Waldo and Muriel Lanchester, performed regularly in the Malvern Festival. Shaw, having seen their performances over the years, wrote Shakes Versus Shav for the company in 1949. Waldo Lanchester carved the two marionettes and Muriel costumed them. The Shaw puppet is now housed in the George Bernard Shaw Museum. The play comprises a comic argument between the two playwrights, as a form of intellectual equivalent of Punch and Judy . In 2007 it was revived by Henry Bell at the Orange Tree Theatre with Dudley Hinton and John Paul Connelly playing the parts written for puppets.

Shaw claims that Macbeth has been bettered by Walter Scott Scott s novel Rob Roy novel Rob Roy , and proves the point by staging a fight between the ghosts of the two Scots, which Rob Roy wins. Shaw then asserts that Adam Lindsay Gordon has outdone Shakespeare s verse, quoting the lines The beetle booms adown the glooms And bumps among the clumps in fact a garbled version of lines by James Whitcomb Riley . Shakespeare laughs at this. He tells Shaw that he could never have written Hamlet or King Lear . Shaw replies that Shakespeare could not have written Heartbreak House , and creates a pastiche of his own play with the characters posed in imitation of Millais s painting File Millais berfahrt nach Nordwest.jpg The North West Passage .
