From burnt oblations; and on new-mown lawns
Around our car graze leisurely the fawns.

KING. [_Advancing a little further_.

The inhabitants of this sacred retreat must not be disturbed.
Stay the chariot, that I may alight.

CHARIOTEER.

The reins are held in. Your Majesty may descend.

KING. [_Alighting_.
