The opening

SCENE.

An Arcadian Landscape. A river runs around the back of the stage. A rustic bridge crosses the river.

Enter Fairies, led by Leila, Celia, and Fleta. They trip around the stage, singing as they dance.

CHORUS. Tripping hither, tripping thither, Nobody knows why or whither; We must dance and we must sing Round about our fairy ring!

SOLO—CELIA.

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
