’Tis love that keeps the heart e’er young.
With us through life ’twill stay;
And last through all eternity,
For love must live for aye.
CURTAIN
(The curtain should rise again, to show the wedding. The Clergyman, in the robes of the Episcopal church, waits at the altar, where is also St. Valentine, his Attendants near. The bridal procession should enter at one side of the back, if possible, pass down to the front, across to C. front, and up C. to altar. Cupid and the Fairy should precede the procession; next should come one of the tiny Pages, with the ring on a velvet cushion. Bluebell and Rosebud follow, as flower girls, then the Queen, followed by her Maidens, two by two. No change is necessary in any of the costumes but to add a long veil of mosquito netting to the Queen’s costume. At the altar, St. Valentine meets her, and they arrange themselves as for the ceremony, the Bride and Groom kneeling before the Clergyman. The curtain may fall on this tableau, or they may rise, and march out, to the wedding march, if desired. Of course, in this case, the order will be changed somewhat.)
