Cupid. No part of my dominion shall be waste;

To spread my sway, and sing my praise,

Even here I will a people raise,

Of kind embracing lovers, and embraced.

Cupid waves his Wand, upon which the Scene opens, and discovers a prospect of Ice and Snow to the end of the Stage.

Singers and Dancers, Men and Women, appear.

Man. See, see, we assemble,

Thy revels to hold;

Though quiv'ring with cold,

We chatter and tremble.
