[Goes back to where he has been sitting, lies down and sleeps.]
[CORYDON, in going back to where he has been sitting, stumbles over bowl of colored confetti and colored paper ribbons.] CORYDON: Why, what is this?--Red stones--and purple stones-- And stones stuck full of gold!--The ground is full Of gold and colored stones! . . . I'm glad the wall Was up before I found them!--Otherwise, I should have had to share them. As it is, They all belong to me. . . . Unless-- [He goes to wall and digs up and down the length of it, to see if there are jewels on the other side.] None here-- None here--none here--They all belong to me! [Sits.] THYRSIS: [Awakening.] How curious! I thought the little black lamb Came up and licked my hair; I saw the wool About its neck as plain as anything! It must have been a dream. The little black lamb Is on the other side of the wall, I'm sure. [Goes to wall and looks over. CORYDON is seated on the ground, tossing the confetti up into the air and catching it.] Hello, what's that you've got there, Corydon? |
