ce, and looks at the Harper in the foreground. He is dressed
in dark clothes; a heavy white mantle is thrown over his shoulders,
the ends trailing to the floor; on his head is placed a garland of
green leaves. He holds in both hands a large book, which should be
bound richly and opened in the centre. Kneeling on the floor at his
feet, and facing the young knight, is the Harper. He holds in his left
hand a harp, and touches the strings with his right. His costume
consists of a coat made of Turkey cloth, trimmed with black binding
four inches wide; black knee breeches, white hose, knee and shoe
buckles, and red shoes. Over the left shoulder is carelessly thrown a
short velvet cloak, and on the head is a black velvet cap, with a gold
band and plume. His head is thrown back, eyes directed to the Spirit,
while the countenance should appear to be inspired. Kneeling at the
foot of the pedestal, between the first figure and the Harper, is the
Troubadour, playing on a guitar; he faces the audience; his head is
thrown back, and his eyes cast upward. Costume consists of a purple
coat, trimmed with black binding, blue breeches, white hose, low
shoes, knee and shoe buckles, belt containing a small dagger, about
the waist. The harp can be made of wood, covered with gold paper, and
strung with buff cord. The light for this piece should be produced at
either side of the stage, and a small quantity at the front. The side
light must be very powerful. The accompanying music should be of a
brilliant order.

HAIDEE AND DON JUAN IN THE CAVE.

His eyes he opened, shut, again unclosed,
For all was doubt and dizziness; he thought
He still was in the boat, and had but dozed,
And felt again with his despair o'erwrought,
And wished it death in which he had reposed;
And then once more his feelings back were brought,
And slowly by his swimming eyes was seen
A lovely female face of seventeen.

'Twas bending close o'er his, and the small mouth
Seemed almost prying into his for breath;
And, chafing him, the soft, warm hand of youth
Recalled his answering spirits back from death;
And, bathing his chill temples, tried to soothe
Each pulse to animation, till beneath
Its gentle touch and trembling care, a sigh
To these kind efforts made a low reply.
