THE RIVALS
Scene—A thick forest, under the trees of which Lady Zenobia Ellrington is reposing, dressed in her usual attire of a crimson-velvet robe and black plumes. She speaks:
’Tis eve: how that rich sunlight streameth through
The unwoven arches of this sylvan roof!
How their long, lustrous lines of light illume,
With trembling radiance, all the agèd boles
Of elms majestic as the lofty columns
