JULY	B
	-
	-
Scene A LAWN IN THE COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE'S ARCADIA	C
	-
Enter FLORA Lady of Summer with her maidens PHYLLIS	D
and AMARYLLIS She takes her seat upon a bank	E
playing with a basket of freshly gathered flowers one	F
of which she presently holds up in her hand	G
	-
	-
FLORA Ah how I love a rose But come my girls	H
Here's for your task to day you Amaryllis	I
Shall take the white and Phyllis you the red	J
Hold out your kirtles for them White red white	K
Red red and white again	L
Wonder you not	M
How the same sun can breed such different beauties	N
She divides all her roses between them	O
Well take them all and go scatter them wide	P
In gardens where men love me and be sure	Q
	-
Where even one flower falls or one soft petal	R
Next year shall see a hundred	S
As they turn to go enter LUCIA in hunting dress	T
with bow in hand and a hound by her side FLORA	C
rises to meet her and recalls her maidens	U
Stay attend me	V
	-
LUCIA Greeting fair ladies you I think must be	V
Daughters of this green Earth and one of you	W
The sweet Dame Flora	C
	-
FLORA Your true servant madam	X
But if my memory be not newly withered	Y
I have not known the pleasure	Z
	-
LUCIA Yes you have seen me	V
At least you might have seen me I am Lucia	C
Lady of Moonlight and I often hunt	A2
These downs of yours with all my nightly pack	B2
Of questing beams and velvet footed shadows	C2
	-
FLORA I fear at night	K
	-
LUCIA Oh yes at night you are sleeping	D2
And I by day am always rather faint	E2
So we don't meet but sometimes your good folk	F2
Have torn my nets by raking in the water	Z
And though their neighbours laughed there are worse ways	G2
Of spending time and far worse things to rake for	H2
Than silver lights upon a crystal stream	I2
But come My royal Sire the Man in the Moon	J2
He has been here	K2
	-
FLORA So many kings come here	K2
I can't be sure I've heard the Man in the Moon	J2
	-
Did once come down and ask his way to Norwich	L2
But that was years agone hundreds of years	M2
It may not be the same I do not know	N2
You royal father's age	O2
	-
LUCIA His age Oh surely	V
He never can be more than one month old	P2
	-
FLORA Yet he's your father	Z
	-
LUCIA Well he is and is not	M
Proudly I am the daughter of a million moons	Q2
They month by month and year by circling year	R2
From their celestial palace looking down	S2
On your day wearied Earth have soothed her sleep	T2
And rocked her tides and made a magic world	U2
For all her lovers and her nightingales	Q2
You owe them much my ancestors No doubt	V2
At times they suffered under clouds at times	Q2
They were eclipsed yet in their brighter hours	Q2
They were illustrious	Q2
	-
FLORA And may I hope	W2
Your present Sire his present Serene Highness	Q2
Is in his brighter hours to day	X2
	-
LUCIA Ah no	N2
Be sure he is not else I had not left	Y2
My cool sweet garden of unfading stars	Q2
For the rank meadows of this sun worn mould	P2
	-
FLORA What is your trouble then	L
	-
LUCIA Although my father	Z
Has been but ten days reigning he is sad	Z2
With all the sadness of a phantom realm	A3
And all the sorrows of ten thousand years	Q2
	-
We in our Moonland have no life like yours	Q2
No birth no death we live but in our dreams	Q2
And when they are grown old these mortal visions	Q2
Of an immortal sleep we seem to lose them	O
They are too strong for us too self sufficient	A2
To live for us they go their ways and leave us	Q2
Like shadows grown substantial	R
	-
FLORA I have heard	Y
Something on earth not unlike this complaint	E2
But can I help you	W
	-
LUCIA Lady if you cannot	M
No one can help In Moonland there is famine	F
We are losing all our dreams and I come hither	Z
To buy a new one for my father's house	Q2
	-
FLORA To buy a dream	I2
	-
LUCIA Some little darling dream	I2
That will be always with us night and day	X2
Loving and teasing sailing light of heart	B3
Over our darkest deeps reminding us	Q2
Of our lost childhood playing our old games	Q2
Singing our old songs asking our old riddles	Q2
Building our old hopes and with our old gusto	N2
Rehearsing for us in one endless act	C3
The world past and the world to be	V
	-
FLORA Oh now	D3
I see your meaning Yes I have indeed	E3
Plenty of such sweet dreams we call them children	F
They are our dreams too and though they are born of us	Q2
Truly in them we live But dearest lady	V
We do not sell them	O
	-
LUCIA Do you mean you will not	M
Not one Could you not lend me one just one	F
	-
FLORA Ah but to lend what cannot be returned	F3
Is merely giving who can bring again	L
Into the empty nest those wing d years	Q2
Still there are children here well worth your hopes	Q2
And you shall venture if there be among them	O
One that your heart desires and she consent	G3
Take her and welcome for the will of Love	H3
Is the wind's will and none may guess his going	D2
	-
LUCIA O dearest Lady Flora	C
	-
FLORA Stay they are here	K2
Mad as a dance of May flies	Q2
	-
The children run in dancing and singing	D2
	-
Shall we sit	I3
And watch these children	F
Phyllis bid them play	X2
And let them heed us no more than the trees	Q2
That girdle this green lawn with whispering beauty	V
The children play and sing at their games till at a	C
convenient moment the LADY FLORA holds up her hand	G
	-
FLORA Now Amaryllis stay the rushing stream	I2
The meadows for this time have drunk enough	J3
To LUCIA And you what think you lady of these maids	Q2
Has their sweet foolish singing moved your heart	B3
To choose among them	O
	-
LUCIA I have heard them gladly	V
And if I could would turn them all to elves	Q2
That if they cannot live with me at least	K3
	-
I might look down when our great galleon sails	Q2
Close over earth and see them always here	K2
Dancing upon the moonlit shores of night	K
But how to choose and though they are young and fair	L3
Their every grace foretells the fatal change	M3
The swift short bloom of girlhood like a flower	Z
Passing away for ever passing away	X2
Have you not one with petals tenderer yet	N3
More deeply folded further from the hour	Z
When the bud dies into the mortal rose	Q2
	-
FLORA pointing There is my youngest blossom and my fairest	O3
But my most wilful too you'll pluck her not	M
Without some aid of magic	P3
	-
LUCIA Time has been	Q3
When I have known even your forest trees	Q2
Sway to a song of moonland I will try it	I3
	-
She sings and dances a witching measure	Z
	-
	-
	-
Song	R3
	-
	-
To an air by HENRY LAWES published in	Q3
	-
The flowers that in thy garden rise	Q2
Fade and are gone when Summer flies	Q2
And as their sweets by time decay	X2
So shall thy hopes be cast away	X2
	-
The Sun that gilds the creeping moss	Q2
Stayeth not Earth's eternal loss	Q2
He is the lord of all that live	S3
Yet there is life he cannot give	T3
	-
The stir of Morning's eager breath	U3
Beautiful Eve's impassioned death	U3
Thou lovest these thou lovest well	V3
Yet of the Night thou canst not tell	V3
	-
In every land thy feet may tread	J
Time like a veil is round thy head	J
Only the land thou seek'st with me	V
Never hath been nor yet shall be	V
	-
It is not far it is not near	R2
Name it hath none that Earth can hear	K2
But there thy Soul shall build again	L
Memories long destroyed of men	L
And Joy thereby shall like a river	Z
Wander from deep to deep for ever	Z
	-
	-
When she has finished the child runs into her arms	Q2
	-
FLORA Your spell has won her and I marvel not	M
She was but half our own	W3
To the Child Farewell dear child	X3
'Tis time to part you with this lovely lady	V
To dance in silver halls and gather stars	Q2
And be the dream you are while we return	Y3
To the old toil and harvest of the Earth	Z3
Farewell and farewell all	A4

ALL Farewell farewell	V3
