THE SHEPHERD Caligula!

THE EMPEROR Who calls?

THE SHEPHERD Reveal thyself— What thing thou art.

[Stepping slowly into the light, the EMPEROR bows himself before the SHEPHERD, holding up his crown which the Shepherd takes and says with a gesture:]

Lay off thy mask.

[Rising, the Emperor puts of his mask, revealing himself as the Priest of Setebos.]

Hail, Lust!

LUST [To the Shepherd.] Hail, Prospero!

PROSPERO [Putting of his sheepskin cloak, which the boy takes from him.] Return to Setebos. [To the Shepherd Boy.] Ariel, lead him below.

ARIEL So, Master! [Ariel leads Lust away to the cell beneath.]
