Context

• At the same time as depicting this reality, Bellman creates a Rococo picture of life, full of classical allusion, following the French post-Baroque poets; the women, including the beautiful Ulla Winblad, are "nymphs", and Neptune's festive troop of followers and sea-creatures sport in Stockholm's waters → can you split this sentence into two?

 Done

Music and verse form

• Sample needs to comply with Manual of Style/Music samples
  • Music is out of copyright (PD is tagged) so length and similar considerations are not an issue.
