THE INDIAN PRINCESS
ACT I.
Scene I. Powhatan River; wild and picturesque. Ships appear. Barges approach the shore, from which land Smith, Rolfe, Percy, Walter, Larry, Robin, Alice, &c.
Chorus.
Jolly comrades, raise the glee,
Chorus it right cheerily;
For the tempest's roar is heard no more,
And gaily we tread the wish'd-for shore:
Then raise the glee merrily,
Chorus it cheerily,
For past are the perils of the blust'ring sea.
Smith. Once more, my bold associates, welcome. Mark
What cheery aspects look upon our landing:
The face of Nature dimples o'er with smiles,
The heav'ns are cloudless, whiles the princely sun,
As glad to greet us in his fair domain,
Gives us gay salutation—
Larry. [To Walter.] By St. Patrick
His fiery majesty does give warm welcome.
Arrah! his gracious smiles are melting—
Walter. Plague!
He burthens us with favours till we sweat.
Smith. What think ye, Percy, Rolfe, have we not found
Sir Walter Raleigh faithful in his tale?
Is 't not a goodly land? Along the bay,
How gay and lovely lie its skirting shores,
Fring'd with the summer's rich embroidery!
