In the
next, the Terrace Walk, the King's lodgings, and the upper part of
St George's chapel, then the keep; and, lastly, that part of the
Castle beyond the keep._
_In the air is a vision of the Honours of the Garter; the Knights in
procession, and the King under a canopy; beyond this, the upper end
of St George's hall._
FAME _rises out of the middle of the Stage, standing on a Globe, on
which is the Arms of England: the Globe rests on a Pedestal; on the
front of the Pedestal in drawn a Man with a long, lean, pale face,
with fiends' wings, and snakes twisted round his body; he is
encompassed by several fanatical rebellious heads, who suck poison
from him, which runs out of a tap in his side._[11]
_Fame._ Renown, assume thy trumpet!
From pole to pole resounding
Great Albion's name;
Great Albion's name shall be
The theme of Fame, shall be great Albion's name,
Great Albion's name, great Albion's name.
Record the garter's glory;
A badge for heroes, and for kings to bear;
For kings to bear!
And swell the immortal story,
With songs of Gods, and fit for Gods to hear;
And swell the immortal story,
With songs of Gods, and fit for Gods to hear;
For Gods to hear.
_A full Chorus of all the Voices and Instruments; trumpets and
hautboys make Ritornello's of all_ FAME _sings; and twenty-four
Dancers, all the time in a chorus, and dance to the end of the
Opera.
