That there are fairy maidens in the clouds,

Whose gentle mode of thought and mode of life

They would do well to imitate. We would

That every maid on earth were such as we!

(Placing her arms round his neck).

Eth. In truth we would that every maiden were,—

(Aside) Except our mothers, sisters, and our wives!

Sel. If you will be our pupils, you must give

Some token of submission to our will,

No doubt you have some form of fealty?
