SCENE I.

The Battery by moonlight. Music in Castle Garden.
Enter three Muses, viz: Polhyminia, Erato, and Terpsichore.
Pol.
When shall we three meet again,
In honor of the Mirror's reign?

Era.
When the present volume's done,
When the NINTH is number one.

Terps.
That wont be till June has run.

Pol.
Where the place?

Era.
Within the Park.

Terps.
There to meet with—

Era.
Morris.

Terps.
Hark!

Pol.
I come, Euterpe.

Era.
Clio calls,
From the Castle Garden walls.

All.
Fair or foul, we pay no fare,
Hover o'er the bridge, and through the air.

[Exeunt into Castle Garden, and out of the port-holes.
