the following day the prince of the dragon 's cave held a review of his dancers . when all the dancers had assembled , the dance of the ogres was danced first . those who performed it all wore devil - masks and garments of scales . they beat upon enormous cymbals , and their kettledrums were so large that four men could just about span them . their sound was like the sound of a mighty thunder , and the noise was so great that nothing else could be heard . when the dance began , tremendous waves spouted up to the very skies , and then fell down again like star - glimmer which scatters in the air . the prince of the dragon cave hastily bade the dance cease , and had the dancers of the nightingale round step forth . these were all lovely young girls of sixteen . they made a delicate music with flutes , so that the breeze blew and the roaring of the waves was stilled in a moment . the water gradually became as quiet as a crystal world , transparent to its lowest depths . when the nightingale dancers had finished , they withdrew and posted themselves in the western courtyard . 
hastily bade the dance cease , and had the dancers of the nightingale round step forth .
