A Burmese Story in Song.
Words by Frederick John Fraser.
Dramatis Personae
The Action of the Story passes upon the crowded steps and afterwards in the sacred courts of the famous Shive Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon.
The happy songs of Ma Nee and Chit Maung are in contrast to the despairing note of Ma Noo, whose lover, Oomala, has become a Popngyi (Buddhist priest). On discovering that he is Pyin-Sin (Monk for all time), Ma Noo seeks to take her life; but in Oomala the man is stronger than the priest, and triumphant love at last is conqueror.
