Yea, with his blood anoint him!

(Pointing their spears, the Host turn to rush upon Caspar, when suddenly a Blaze of Light checks and astounds them: silverly a Blast of Trumpets sounds; the Evergreen branches burst into bloom of stars, while TREE, as Angel, comes forth, holding sheathed a shining Sword, its hasp in a Crown of Holly.)

TREE

Stay!

Bow, Host of Herod! Bow ye down

And hail our Saint of Evergreen:

Hail Santa Claus!

(Tree places the Holly Crown on Caspar’s head. A Burst of Sleigh-Bells sounds, filling the air with their circlings of silver music.)
