歌詞
(enter Eigen)
Eigen: Father!
Caractacus: ’Tis Eigen.
Eigen: Sire and King,
Why wand’ring by the pale starlight?
Caractacus: Nay, daughter, what can Eigen bring
Untended through the camp by night?
Eigen: Nay, not untended, Orbin waits,
Close at my side, a guard from bale,
With me to read thee Britain’s fates.
(enter Orbin)
Caractacus: Hail! Orbin.
Orbin: Lord and Captain, hail!
Caractacus: Fates! they have left me; gods are far;
Yet women view the light of heaven;
Say, canst thou read in yonder star
One ray of hope to Britain given?
Sentries (afar) Watchmen, alert!
Orbin: Far off the distant sentry’s hail
Keeps vigil o’er the army sleeping:
Here all is peace; attend the tale
Which Eigen’s gentle breast is keeping.
