3. PART III.

Windsor Park, with a View of the Castle.
RECITATIVE.
Enter FAIRIES.
FIRST FAIRY.
Nor yet, my Faies, in this day blest,
Must you think or hope to rest.

SECOND FAIRY.
Let the coarse and Country Fairy,
That doth haunt the hearth or dairy;
Let Ghosts, wand'ring here and there,
Shun Aurora's harbinger;


24

FIRST FAIRY.
And banish'd from the chearful light,
Hold company with black-brow'd Night!

SECOND FAIRY.
We're Spirits of another sort,
And with the jolly, jolly day make sport.

DUET.
[First Fairy., Second Fairy.]
Nay, nay,
You must not stay,
Nor be weary yet:
This is no time to cast away;
Or for Fairies to forget
Their nimble, nimble, feet.
Knotty joints, and limbs of clay
Seek for ease, or love delay.
Merrily, merrily, we should fare,
Whose being's a shadow, whose bodies are air.

A DANCE OF FAIRIES.

25

After the Fairies are vanish'd, the Scene changes to the inside of St. George's Hall, with the Throne, Tables, &c. as at the Installation. The Knights-Companions enter in Procession, and range themselves on the outside of their Table; they uncover and bow as the Sovereign passes. Ceremony of the Dinner, &c. with proper Musick. The whole to conclude with this
GRAND CHORUS.
Renown, assume thy Trumpet,
From Pole to Pole resounding
Great GEORGE's name!
Great GEORGE's name
Shall be the Theme of Fame.
Record the GARTER's Glory!
A badge for Heroes, and for Kings to bear;
For Kings to bear!
And swell th' immortal story
With Songs of Gods, and fit for Gods to hear;
For Gods to hear!

FINIS.
