 | The Three Temptations |  |
Scene IV.
Scene changes to the Goblin Glade in the Wood of Wonders.Sir L.
Here's a near-cut indeed, and these petitioners
Of woods and forests doubtless are commissioners.
Morg.
Just so.
Sir L.
Ah, ours have no such rapid movements;
'Twould take with them ten years for such improvements.
Morg.
There runs your path, and here my power must stay;
Hur must alone now venture on hur way.
Sir L.
But give you no advice ere this I try;
Morg.
Avoid temptation and bad company.
[Exit Morgan.
Sir L.
The first to be resisted must be shown;
The second we hope never here to own.
Solo: “Through the wood.”
Sir L.
Through the wood, through the wood, looking behind me,
I'll loudly hollo for aid in the dell;
He must be the prince of pedestrians who'd find me,
For she whom I seek shall be sought after well.
