THE FAMILY LEGEND:



ACT III.


SCENE I. A small island, composed of a rugged craggy rock, on the front of the stage, and the sea in the back-ground.

Enter two Vassals dragging in Helen, as if just come out of their boat.


HELEN.

O why is this? Speak, gloomy, ruthless men!

Our voyage ends not here?

FIRST VASSAL.

It does: and now,

Helen the Campbell, fare thee—fare thee well!

SECOND VASSAL.

Helen the Campbell, thy last greeting take

From mortal thing.

HELEN.

This sea-girt rock, to solitude and famine?
