scene as taking place in the open air;
the dawn Is just breaking and rosy
streaks appear in the horizon. A young
woman richly dressed is seated on one
side of a fountain. on the edge of wh.ca
she has placed costly casket. Her right
hand Is In her lap and holds bunch OF
magic herbs. Deeply moved, she gazes
hxedly before her, lending ear the while
to the persuasive voice of another NO
man seated near. The form Of this wo-
man, around which fiutters red mantle,
is of a marvellous beauty. She rests her
right hand upon the fountains edge and
with her left holds on high a vase from
which issues Hight smoke. Between
the two women the god OF love IL splash

hands.
