First sentence: In black darkness-nothing onstage, nothing anywhere-a tenor voice rises up out of the pit,'Hence, loathed melancholy, / Of Cerberus and blackest midnight born,' it sings, and it goes on singing of the black world of melancholy-the Stygian cave, the night raven, the ebony shades-for ten long lines.
