SCENE I.

Melampus asleep in the arbour, which disappears at a symphony of music, and the approach of a Nymph.
She sings.
Fancy, brighter than the Graces,
Who dost guide the tuneful Nine,
Wanton o'er this sleeping hero,
And before his waking soul
Hold in dreams thy artful mirror,
Stor'd with Pleasure's various forms.

[Melampus wakes, and the Nymph vanishes.
