Voices.
Arise, ye ghosts of his youthful days,
And tell us of his acts and ways.
(Arise 1733, 1735, 1738, 1741, 1743, and 1752. Each speaks in turn.)
1733. In seventeen hundred thirty-three
He was a baby, full of glee.
1735. In seventeen hundred thirty-five
He was a child, all wide-awake, alive.
1738. I speak for seventeen thirty-eight,
He told no falsehood, small or great.
