+
+
+_My LORD_,
+
+My Duty and Gratitude oblige me to give this Publick Testimony, of
+that Generous Concern Your Lordship has always shown for the promoting
+of Theatrical Musick, but this Opera more immediately claims Your
+Protection, as it is compos'd in Your own Family.
+
+The particular Encouragement you have given to the liberal Arts, not
+only shows the Delicacy of Your Taste, but will be a Means to Establish
+them in this Climate, and _Italy_ will no longer boast of being the Seat
+of Politeness, whilst the Sons of Art flourish under Your Patronage.
+
+Your Lordship indeed has distinguished Your self this way, and every
+Science has raised it self under Your Auspicious Bounty. So true a
+Notion of Merit, and so nice a Discernment of what is Curious, is but
+rarely found among Persons of an advanced Age; but You my Lord, by an
+uncommon Felicity of Genius, do even in the Bloom of Youth make Your
+Entrance in the World with the most refin'd Taste and mature Judgment.
+
+But I fear the Pleasure I take in Recounting Your Excellent Qualities
+will make me commit an Involuntary Errour, and that I shall be thought
+Troublesome, when I only designed to show with how much Respect I am,
+
+_My LORD,_
+  _Your Lordship's most Humble,
+      _most Obliged, and most
+          _Faithful Servant,_
+
+    John James Heidegger.

+
+  AMADIS.
+
+  Or' che di negro Ammanto
+  E' ricoperto il Cielo, e ogn' un' riposa
+  Prencipe andiamo, oue l'honor c'Invita;
+  Abbandoniam' queste incantate Soglie,
+  Che già troppo contrarie
+  Furo' alla gloria mia, ed' al' mio Amore.
+
+    Now that the Heav'ns with sable Veil
+    Are cover'd close, and all Mankind repose,
+    Prince, let us go, where Honour us invites;
+    Let us abandon this enchanted Place,
+    Which too averse already hath prov'd
+    Both to my Glory, and my Love.
+
+Dard.
+
+  Già d' Amadigi il nome
+  Fa' incredibil' le proue
+  Della forza dell' braccio, e del' valore:
+  Dopo tante vittorie
+  Tempo è dunque che ascolti,
+  Della vaga Melissa
+  Gl' Innamorati pianti.
+  Mira; come qui ride il fiore; e come
+  Verdeggia il prato; e Limpido il ruscello,
+  Qui come inriga il suolo:
+  Tutto con l'arti sue forma d'Incanti,
+  Per piacere à tè Sol', che sei sua vita.
+
+    The Name of _Amadis_ already makes
+    Incredible, th' amazing Proofs
+    As well of Valour as of Strength of Arm:
+    After so many Victories obtain'd
+    'Tis also time to lend an Ear
+    To beautiful _Melissa_'s Sighs,
+    And listen to her kind Complaints.
+    See how the Flow'rs seem all to smile,
+    How green the Meadows, and how clear the Streams
+    Which seem to water all the pleasant Ground:
+    All this she forms by her enchanting Arts,
+    You, only you, to please, who are her Life.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Più cerca ella piacermi, io più la sprezzo.
+
+    The more she strives to please, the more I her despise.
+
+Dard.
+
+  Ingrato dunque sei.
+
+    The more ungrateful you.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Mira; e poi dimmi Ingrato:
+              [Gli mostra il ritratto di Oriana.
+  Mira questi colori,
+  Che non sono ch' un' ombra al' par del' giorno,
+  E dì, se posso oh' Dio,
+  Per Melissa Lasciar, l'Idolo mio?
+
+    View first this Piece, then call me Ingrate.
+                [He shews him the Picture of _Oriana_.
+    View but these Colours, which yet are no more
+    Than Shadows at the Day's approach,
+    And tell me, if I can, Oh Gods!
+    Leave, for _Melissa_'s sake, this Idol of my Love?
+
+Dard.
+
+  (Ah'! che rimiro ò stelle!
+  Questo è il mio ben' si finga.)
+  Ella ti corisponde?
+
+    (Ah me! what is't I see? O Stars!
+    This is my Dear; but I'll dissemble)
+    And does answer thy Love.
+
+Amad.
+
+  M'ama quant' Io l'Adoro.
+  Mà; che più qui si tarda? andiam ò Prence.
+
+    She loves me as much as I do her adore.
+    But pray, why stay we here? Prince, let us go.
+
+Dard.
+
+  Signor' più non m'oppongo, alle tue brame:
+  Resta; che intanto Io vado
+  Per ricercare, un opportuno calle.
+  Che celi a gl'occhi altrui il nostro scampo.
+
+    I shall no longer, Sir, oppose your Will:
+    Remain you here; in the mean time I'll go
+    And try to find some secret Passage out,
+    Which may from ev'ry Eye conceal our Flight.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Quiui t'attendo. (Dard.) (Ed' Io di sdegno auvampo.)
+      Pugnerò contro del' fato,
+      Vendicato il cor' sarà;
+      E il riuale mio spietato
+      Al mio pie vinto cadrà.
+          Pugnerò, &c.
+
+    Here I'll attend. (_Dard._) And I inraged burn.
+    Dardanus says,
+            _He will fight against Fate to revenge his Love;
+            and that his Rival shall fall at his Feet._

+
+SCENA II.
+
+    SCENE II.
+
+Amadigi solo.
+
+    _Amadis_ alone.
+
+  O' notte, ò cara notte;
+  Spiega il più oscuro velo:
+  E tù nume dei sogni
+  Soccorri un fido Amante
+  Con i silentii, e l'ombre;
+  Che già mai favoristi, con l'orror del tuo nero,
+  Un cor del' mio più fido, e più sincero.
+
+    O Night, O dearest, dearest Night;
+    Spread now thy thickest, darkest Veil:
+    And you great Deity of Dreams
+    Succour a faithful Lover once
+    With Silence and with deepest Shades;
+    You never yet help'd with your dismal Black
+    A Heart more true, nor more sincere than mine.
+
+      Notte amica dei riposi
+      Deh' m'assisti, e riconforta,
+      Il mio sen' che stà penan----
+
+            _He invokes the Night to assist and comfort his
+            troubled Breast, and stops abruptly._
+
+Si schiarisce in un subito la Scena, Scaturiscono da terra vasi,
+fontane, e statue. ----ed' una truppa di Spiriti infernali, inuiati
+da Melissa, da tutti i Lati della Scena, si oppongono alla partenza
+di Amadigi.
+
+    The Scene grows Light on a sudden, and there arises confusedly from
+    the Ground, Vasas, Fountains, and Statues. And a Troop of infernal
+    Spirits (sent by _Melissa_) on both sides of the Scene, prevent
+    _Amadis_'s going off the Stage.
+
+  Che miro! inuido fato
+  Bramo la notte, e il sol' m' apporta il giorno?
+  Fuggirò, mà doue? forse di qui?
+  Ah' nò; ch' impedito è ogni passo
+  Allo scampo, alla fuga.
+  Ah' Melissa, Melissa! io son' tradito.
+  Mà che! s'apra col' ferro il varco.
+
+    What do I see? O Envious Fate!
+    I wish'd for Night. Does _Phoebus_ bring the Day?
+    Ill fly, but where? Can I from hence get free?
+    Ah no, all Passages are stopp'd,
+    All things combine to hinder my Escape.
+    _Melissa_, ah _Melissa_, I'm betray'd,
+    But with my Sword I'll hew my Passage out.
+
+              [Mentre pone il pugno alla spada sopragiunge Melissa.
+
+                [Whilst he lays his Hand on his Sword, _Melissa_
+                comes suddenly to him.
+
+
+SCENA III.
+
+    SCENE III.
+
+Melissa, ed Amadigi.
+
+    _Melissa_ and _Amadis_.
+
+Mel.
+
+  E tù cerchi fuggir? perfido; Ingrato.
+  Deh' Melissa t'arresti.
+
+    Do you pretend t' escape? Perfidious and Ingrate
+    You're now arrested at _Melissa_'s Suit.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Nulla può ritenermi.
+
+    There's nothing shall, nor can detain me.
+
+Mel.
+
+  Ti piegherà il mio pianto.
+
+    My weeping surely will prevail.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Hò già risolto.
+
+    I have resolved.
+
+Mel.
+
+  I sospir;
+
+    And my Sighs;
+
+Amad.
+
+  Non gli apprezzo.
+
+    Are things on which I set no value.
+
+Mel.
+
+  Adoprerò Lusinghe.
+
+    Will Flatt'ry, or will Fawning please?
+
+Amad.
+
+  Solo l'ardor di Gloria, il cor mi tocca.
+
+    Nothing but thirst of Glory ever touch'd my Heart.
+
+Mel.
+
+  E pur' so' ch' Oriana, il sen' t'accende.
+
+    And yet _Oriana_ I know has fir'd your Breast.
+
+Amad.
+
+  Dunque perche mi segui?
+
+    Why is't that thus you follow me?
+
+Mel.
+
+  Crudel; perche t'adoro.
+
+    Because I adore you, cruel Man.
+
+Amad.
+
+  E se sdegno il tuo foco,
+  Come farai, ch' Io t'ami?
+
+    But seeing I disdain your Flames,
+    What can you do to make me love?
+
+Mel.
+
+  Nella torre incantata, è gia il tuo bene.
+  Và dunque empio Spietato
+  Vanne à colei che t'arde il cor; mà pensa,
+  Che sdegnata Melissa,
+  Tutti i mostri d'Inferno,
+  Tutte l'Arpie più fozze,
+  Cerbero, furie, fuoco, e fiamme appresta;
+  E pria che la riuale al' sen' tù stringa,
+  Frà mille pene, Io ti vedrò perire.
+
+    Your Dear's already in th' enchanted Tow'r;
+    Go impious, false and cruel, go
+    To her who has inflam'd your Heart, but know,
+    That now _Melissa_ (justly enrag'd)
+    Will soon raise all th' Infernal Monsters up,
+    All ugly Harpies shall approach,
+    _Cerberus_ and Furies, Fire and Flames appear.
+    And e'er you close my Rival in your Arms,
+    Replete with Anguish I shall see you expire.
+
+Amad.
+
+  L'Arti tue non faranno
+  Che accrescere al mio petto, e forza, e ardire.
+      Non sà temere
+      Questo mio petto;
+      S'ardir l'Accende,
+      L'accende amor:
+      Saprà Vedere,
+      Odiò, e dispetto;
+      Strane vicende
+      Non teme il Cor'.
+          Non sà, &c.    [Parte.
+
+    All your dire Arts this only Effect will have
+    To add new Strength and Courage to my Soul.
+                [_He says that his Heart inflam'd with Love and
+                Courage fears nothing._    [Exit.

+  Ingrato; segui il foco, che t'arde
+  Segui l'amor, che ti consuma, ò Ingrato.
+  Mà in vano ti Lusinghi
+  Che l'arti mie sapran farti morire.
+  Mà cielo, e come!
+  Morir farò chi vita è di quest' alma?
+  Ah' che già sento in petto
+  Che l'Odio, e l'ira và cangiando aspetto.
+
+    The Cruel Wretch forsakes me and detests me,
+    Ought I, (ye Heav'ns) to suffer this?
+    Follow, Ingrate, the Fire that burns you,
+    Follow the Love, Ingrate, that now consumes you.
+    You flatter still your self in vain,
+    My Arts can never fail to kill you.
+    But then, O Heav'ns! How can I do't?
+    Can I kill him, who Life gives to this Soul?
+    Ah! Now I feel within my Breast
+    That Wrath and Hate begin to change their Looks.----
+
+      Ah' spietato, e non ti moue
+      Un affetto si costante
+      Che per tè mi fà Languir?
+      Mà crudel tù non sai come
+  Fai sdegnar' quest' alma amante
+  Che tu brami di tradir.
+          Ah' spietato, &c.    [Parte.
+
+            _She asks him if the constant Affection which makes her
+            languish, does not move him; and that he don't consider
+            how much his Cruelty provokes her amorous Soul, which he

+    But here this Instant I perceive

+    Whose Waters faithful Lovers undeceive:
+    In it I'll view my self, to see
+    Whether my Dear is faithful in her Love to me.

+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
