Phyton, le mervilleus Serpent is an a cappella trio for a soprano, mezzo-soprano/alto, and tenor containing two song selections comparing a serpant's wrath to a bewitching woman's charm. The lyrics convey this idea. For example, some opening remarks translate to, "But never was a serpent seen so cruel so wicked or so proud as the serpent which denies me when I ask for my lady's favor." In addition to the song's meaning, the use of the French language adds to the slithering, snake-like character of the music which allows for an enjoyable performance.
