THE RING
Father.
And who was he with such love-drunken eyes
They made a thousand honey moons of one?

Miriam.
The prophet of his own, my Hubert—his
The words, and mine the setting. 'Air and Words,'
Said Hubert, when I sang the song, 'are bride
And bridegroom.' Does it please you?

Father.
Mainly, child,
Because I hear your Mother's voice in yours.
She———, why, you shiver tho' the wind is west
With all the warmth of summer.
