SCENE III.
—A DUNGEON.The sound of a Harp is heard from a concealed recess in the prison.
GWENDYLEN,
(entering.)
What sounds of melancholy charm arrest me?
It is my father: let me not intrude
On this most hallowed harmony! for thus
Enraptured he prepares his soul for Heaven,
By this most solemn spirit-soothing air,
Which, in his dying hour, an ancient bard
Gave to his wondering audience, death-inspired!
Again it sounds.—Here let me fondly pause
In reverential silence, till his hand
Relinquish the loved harp, that may so soon
Lose, and confirm his loss in mute dejection!
(Here a celebrated Air is played on the Harp behind the Scenes, from Jones's relicks of the Welch Bards.—page 59.)
