BARBARA
Yes!—
PIPER
Stranger than the Devil or thy Judgment;
Stranger than piping,—even when I pipe!
Stranger than charming mice—or even men—
BARBARA [with tense expectancy] What is it? What?
PIPER
[watching her]
Why,—what may come to pass
Here in the heart. There is one very charm—
BARBARA
Oh!
PIPER
Are you brave?
BARBARA [awe-struck] Oh!
PIPER [slowly] Will you drink the philter?
BARBARA
'Tis. . . some enchantment?
PIPER [mysteriously] 'T is a love philter.
