ACT III.

Scene. In front of Witch's Orchard. Knight comes riding by, blows flute softly under the tower window. Princess leans out and waves her hand. Knight dismounts, and little page takes horse, leading it off stage.

Knight

Lean out of thy window, O Princess fair,

Rescuers now are at hand.

Thou shalt be led down the winding stair

By the Queen of the Fairy band.

Listen, as low on the South Wind's flute

I call the elves to our tryst.
