Excerpt from The Naiad Queen, Or the Revolt of the Naiads: A Grand Romantic Operatic Spectacle, in Three Acts Scene I. - Gothic Hall in Rupert's Castle, 2 G. Oriel window, L. F., backed with moonlight view, large table in c., with pitcher, goblets, &c., benches on R. and L. of table, Gothic chair head of table in C. Rodolph, Rinaldo, Manfredo, Albert, Rolando, and Chorus, seated at table, an aged Pilgrim seated on stool, R. H. 2 E. Chorus. To-morrow and to-morrow May mingle smiles with ours, Or falsehood, shame, and sorrow, Consume life's summer flowers. So mirth and melancholy Float idly down the stream, One dissipates in folly, The other in a dream. Then drink, drink, drink, And merrily clink The cups that overflow, And one cheer more We'll add to the score, Before we rise to go. (All rise and come forward c. with goblets.) To-morrow and to-morrow, The sooner let it come, We can but steal or borrow, As through the world we roam. We owe no monarch fealty, We share no statesman's gains, We fear not woman's frailty, And laugh at lovers' pains. Then drink, drink, drink, &c., (All go up and sit.)
