Henry burst into fervid song into which
the four other singers gradually enter.
The various lines sung are as follows:
Henry and Edgar
Instant vengeance, what restraineth,
What thus stays my sword in scabbard?
Edgar -
Yet. ungrateful one, / love thee still !!
Henry -
And remorse my breast doth fill

And in his drear letters bound me,
But he comes not to relieve me
All of life none viii bereave me

Ali like a rose that withers on the stem.
She now is lowering 'twixt death and

been said. with justice, that this elabor-

Italy. and knowing the kind of music his
people loved. Shrewdly OWNED that his
music would be cherished when all
thoughts of the dramatic situation had
been forgotten Photograph records in

as those in English. OF its kind, this
wonderful ensemble is supreme it de
