Let this dream be a lesson—although in jest—
Be true to the one who loves you best.
Farewell, young spark, awake from seeming pain,
If this dream’s a lesson taught, you have not dreamt in vain!
Awake—Awake—Awake!
(Gong.—Flash.—Limelight off.)
Enter JANE and AUGUSTUS from Pavilion.
Jane. Oh, where is Alphonzo? Perhaps he’s killed himself through my treating him so unkindly.
Aug. But, my dear young lady——
Jane. Don’t “dear young lady me”! It’s all through you. (Trying to find Alphonzo.) I wonder where he is? I left him here. Ah, here he is! (Sees him.) Ah, he is asleep. Wake up, Alphonzo! You’ll catch a cold. Wake up.
