The Merchant's Melancholy Daughter

The Merchant's Melancholy Daughter is a performance play put on by mummers in Braavos.

About

In this play there is a scene where the fat merchant shats on the Sealord's head as he passes underneath in his gold-and-purple barge. Only in Braavos could something like that happen, it was said, and only in Braavos would Sealord and sailor alike howl with laughter to see it.[citation needed]

Izembaro loves to give the Sealord's speech from this play, part of which goes:

“here the last Titan yet stands, astride the stony shoulders of his brothers.”
