SCENE II.
An Indian Temple.High Priest, and other Priests—To them a Messenger.
Mess.
Dispatch, ye holy priests—the King approaches.
Priest.
We for his royal presence only wait,
To end our solemn rites. Five hundred captives
Beheld the morning sun, whose eyes no more
Shall open to the light—Your incense now
On this fair altar, sacred to the Power
Of Love, heap largely; till the clouds ascend
In fragrance to his godhead.
