+_PUBLISHERS' NOTE_
+
+
+The Princess Winsome, the part taken by the "Little Colonel" in the play
+called "The Rescue of Princess Winsome" in "The Little Colonel's Hero,"
+has shared the popularity of the creator of the rôle.
+
+Appealing to children because of its association with their favorite
+heroine, and to their parents because of its high moral tone and the
+beauty of its lines, the play has found great favor among children's
+clubs for their private theatricals, in many cases rivalling the success
+of the "Little Colonel" and her friends in obtaining funds for
+charitable purposes.
+
+In response to repeated requests, the publishers are glad to present the
+play in separate form, making it more easily accessible to young amateur
+actors and actresses.

+
+
+
+"_THE RESCUE OF THE PRINCESS WINSOME_"
+
+
+ACT I.
+
+SCENE I. _Witch bends over fire in middle of orchard, brewing a charm in
+her caldron. Ogre stalks in, grinning frightfully, swinging his bludgeon
+in triumph_.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Ha, old witch, it is done at last!
+  I have broken the King's stronghold!
+  I have stolen away his children twain
+  From the clutch of their guardsmen bold.
+  I have dragged them here to my castle tower.
+  Prince Hero is strong and fair.
+  But he and his sister shall rue my power,
+  When once up yon winding stair.
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Now why didst thou plot such a wicked thing?
+  The children no harm have done.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  But I have a grudge 'gainst their father, the King,
+  A grudge that is old as the sun.
+  And hark ye, old hag, I must have thy aid
+  Before the new moon be risen.
+  Now brew me a charm in thy caldron black,
+  That shall keep them fast in their prison!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  I'll brew thee no charm, thou Ogre dread!
+  Knowest thou not full well
+  The Princess thou hast stolen away
+  Is guarded by Fairy spell?
+  Her godmother over her cradle bent.
+  "O Princess Winsome," she said,
+  "I give thee this gift: thou shalt deftly spin,
+  As thou wishest, Love's golden thread."
+  So I dare not brew thee a spell 'gainst her.
+  My caldron would grow acold
+  And never again would bubble up,
+  If touched by her thread of gold.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Then give me a charm to bind the prince.
+  Thou canst do that much at least.
+  I'll give thee more gold than hands can hold,
+  If thou'lt change him into some beast.
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  I have need of gold--so on the fire
+  I'll pile my fagots higher and higher,
+  And in the bubbling water stir
+  This hank of hair, this patch of fur
+  This feather and this flapping fin,
+  This claw, this bone, this dried snake skin!
+      Bubble and boil
+      And snake skin coil,
+      This charm shall all plans
+      But the Ogre's foil.
+
+
+[_As Witch stirs and sings, the Ogre, stalking to the side, calls._
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Ho, Frog-eye Fearsome, let the sport begin!
+  Hence to the tower! Drag the captives in!
+
+
+[_Frog-eye Fearsome drags Prince Hero and Princess Winsome across the
+stage, and into the door leading up the tower stair. They are bound by
+ropes. Prince tries to reach his sword. Princess shrieks._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Oh, save us, good, wise witch,
+  In pity, save us, pray.
+  The King, our royal father,
+  Thy goodness will repay.
+
+
+[_Pulls back, wringing hand._
+
+
+  Oh, I cannot, _cannot_ mount the tower!
+  Oh, save us from the bloody Ogre's power!
+
+
+[_They are dragged into the tower, door bangs and Ogre locks it with
+key a yard long. Goes back to Witch, who hands him vial filled from
+caldron with black mixture._
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Pour drop by drop upon Prince Hero's tongue.
+  First he will bark.  His hands and feet
+  Will turn to paws, and he will seem a dog.
+  Seven drops will make the change complete.
+  The poison has no antidote save one,
+  And he a prince again can never be,
+  Unless seven silver plums he eats,
+  Plucked from my golden apple-tree.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Revenge is sweet,
+  And soon 'twill be complete!
+  Then to my den I'll haste for gold to delve.
+  I'll bring it at the black, bleak hour of twelve!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  And I upon my broomstick now must fly
+  To woodland tryst. Come, Hornèd Owl
+  And Venomed Toad! Now play the spy!
+  Let no one through my orchard prowl.
+
+
+[_Exit Witch and Ogre to dirge music._
+
+
+
+SCENE II. _Enter King and Queen weeping. They pace up and down, wringing
+hands, and showing great signs of grief. Godmother enters from opposite
+side. King speaks._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Good dame, Godmother of our daughter dear,
+  Perhaps thou'st heard our tale of woe.
+  Our children twain are stolen away
+  By Ogre Grim, mine ancient foe.
+
+  All up and down the land we've sought
+  For help to break into his tower.
+  And now, our searching all for nought,
+  We've come to beg the Witch's power.
+
+
+[_Godmother springs forward, finger to lip, and anxiously waves them
+away from orchard._
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Nay! Nay! Your Majesty, go not
+  Within that orchard, now I pray!
+  The Witch and Ogre are in league.
+  They've wrought you fearful harm this day.
+  She brewed a draught to change the prince
+  Into a dog! Oh, woe is me!
+  I passed the tower and heard him bark:
+  Alack! That I must tell it thee!
+
+
+[_Queen shrieks and falls back in the King's arms, then recovering
+falls to wailing._
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  My noble son a _dog_? A _beast_?
+  It cannot, must not, _shall_ not be!
+  I'll brave the Ogre in his den,
+  And plead upon my bended knee!
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Thou couldst not touch his heart of stone.
+  He'd keep _thee_ captive in his lair.
+  The Princess Winsome can alone
+  Remove the cause of thy despair.
+  And I unto the tower will climb,
+  And ere is gone the sunset's red,
+  Shall bid her spin a counter charm--
+  A skein of Love's own Golden Thread.
+  Take heart, O mother Queen! Be brave!
+  Take heart, O gracious King, I pray!
+  Well can she spin Love's Golden Thread,
+  And Love can _always_ find a way!
+
+
+[_Exit Godmother._
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  She's gone, good dame. But what if she
+  Has made mistake, and thread of gold
+  Is not enough to draw our son
+  From out the Ogre's cruel hold?
+  Canst think of nought, your Majesty?
+  Of nothing else? Must we stand here
+  And powerless lift no hand to speed
+  The rescue of our children dear?
+
+
+[_King clasps hand to his head in thought, then starts forward._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  I have it now! This hour I'll send
+  Swift heralds through my wide domains,
+  To say the knight who rescues them
+  Shall wed the Princess for his pains.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+
+  Quick! Let us fly! I hear the sound of feet,
+  As if some horseman were approaching nigher.
+  'Twould not be seemly should he meet
+  Our royal selves so near the Witch's fire.
+
+
+[_They start to run, but are met by Knight on horseback in centre of
+stage. He dismounts and drops to one knee._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Tis Feal the Faithful! Rise, Sir Knight,
+  And tell us what thou doest here!
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  O Sire, I know your children's plight.
+  I go to ease your royal fear.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  Now if thou bringst them back to us,
+  A thousand blessings on thy head.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Ay, half my kingdom shall be thine.
+  The Princess Winsome thou shalt wed.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  But tell us, how dost thou think to cope
+  With the Ogre so dread and grim?
+  What is the charm that bids thee hope
+  Thou canst rout and vanquish him?
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  My faithful heart is my only charm,
+  But my good broadsword is keen,
+  And love for the princess nerves my arm
+  With the strength of ten, I ween.
+  Come weal, come woe, no knight can fail
+  Who goes at Love's behest.
+  Long ere one moon shall wax and wane,
+  I shall be back from my quest.
+  I have only to find the South Wind's flute.
+  In the Land of Summer it lies.
+  It can awaken the echoes mute,
+  With answering replies.
+  And it can summon the fairy folk
+  Who never have said me nay.
+  They'll come to my aid at the flute's clear call.
+  Love _always_ can find a way.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Go, Feal the Faithful. It is well!
+  Successful mayst thou be,
+  And all the way that thou dost ride,
+  Our blessings follow thee.
+
+[_Curtain._
+
+
+
+
+ACT II.
+
+
+SCENE. _Room in Ogre's tower. Princess Winsome kneeling with arm
+around Dog's neck._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  _Art_ thou my brother? Can it be
+  That thou hast taken such shape?
+  Oh turn those sad eyes not on me!
+  There _must_ be some escape.
+  And yet our parents think us dead.
+  No doubt they weep this very hour,
+  For no one ever has escaped,
+  Ere this, the Ogre's power.
+  Oh cruel fate! We can but die!
+  Each moment seems a week.
+  _Is_ there no hope? Oh, Hero dear,
+  If thou couldst only speak!
+  But no! Within this tower room
+  We're captive, and despair
+  Must settle on us. 'Tis the doom
+  Of all dragged up yon winding stair.
+
+
+[_Drops her head and weeps. Enter Godmother, who waves wand and
+throwing back curtain, displays a spinning-wheel._
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Rise, Princess Winsome,
+  Dry your weeping eyes.
+  The way of escape
+  Within your own hand lies.
+
+  Waste no time in sorrow,
+  Spin and sing instead.
+  Spin for thy brother's sake,
+  A skein of golden thread.
+
+  Question not the future,
+  Mourn not the past,
+  But keep thy wheel a-turning,
+  Spinning well and fast.
+
+  All the world helps gladly
+  Those who help themselves,
+  And the thread thou spinnest,
+  Shall be woven by elves.
+
+  All good things shall speed thee!
+  Thy knight, the Faithful Feal,
+  Is to thy rescue riding.
+  Up! To thy spinning-wheel!
+
+
+[_Disappears behind curtain._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  All good things shall speed me?
+  Sir Knight, the Faithful Feal,
+  Is to my rescue riding?
+
+
+[_In joyful surprise._
+
+
+  Turn, turn, my spinning-wheel!
+
+
+(_She sings._)
+
+
+
+_Spinning Wheel Song_
+
+
+[Illustration: Spinning Wheel Song]
+
+
+1. My godmother bids me spin,
+   that my heart may not be sad.
+   Spin and sing for my brother's sake,
+   and the spinning makes me glad.
+
+2. Spin, sing with humming whir,
+   the wheel goes round and round.
+   For my brother's sake, the charm I'll break,
+   Prince Hero shall be found.
+
+   Spin, sing, the golden thread,
+   Gleams in the sun's bright ray,
+   The humming wheel my grief can heal,
+   For love will find a way.
+
+
+[_Pauses with uplifted hand._
+
+
+  What's that at my casement tapping?
+  Some messenger, maybe.
+  Pause, good wheel, in thy turning,
+  While I look out and see.
+
+
+[_Opens casement and leans out, as if welcoming a carrier dove, which
+may be concealed in basket outside window._
+
+
+  Little white dove, from my faithful knight,
+  Dost thou bring a message to me?
+  Little white dove with the white, white breast,
+  What may that message be?
+
+
+[_Finds note, tied to wing._
+
+
+  Here is his letter. Ah, well-a-day!
+  I'll open it now, and read.
+  Little carrier dove, with fluttering heart,
+  I'm a happy maiden, indeed.
+  (_She reads._) "O Princess fair, in the Ogre's tower,
+  In the far-off Summer-land
+  I seek the South Wind's silver flute,
+  To summon a fairy band.
+  Now send me a token by the dove
+  That thou hast read my note.
+  Send me the little heart of gold
+  From the chain about thy throat.
+  And I shall bind it upon my shield,
+  My talisman there to stay.
+  And then all foes to me must yield,
+  For Love will find the way.
+
+  Here is set the hand and seal
+  Of thy own true knight, the faithful--Feal."
+
+
+[_Princess takes locket from throat and winds chain around dove's neck._
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+
+
+_The Dove Song_
+
+
+[Illustration: The Dove Song]
+
+   Now, flutter and fly, flutter and fly,
+   Bear him my heart of gold,
+   Bid him be brave little carrier dove!
+   Bid him be brave and bold!
+
+   Tell him that I at my spinning wheel,
+   Will sing while it turns and hums,
+   And think all day of his love so leal,
+   Until with the flute he comes.
+
+   Now fly, flutter and fly,
+   Now flutter and fly away, away.
+
+
+[_Sets dove at liberty. Turning to wheel again, repeats song._
+
+
+_Princess repeats_
+
+  My Godmother bids me spin,
+  That my heart may not be sad;
+  Spin and sing for my brother's sake,
+  And the spinning makes me glad.
+
+  Sing! Spin! With hum and whir
+  The wheel goes round and round.
+  For my brother's sake the charm I'll break!
+  Prince Hero shall be found.
+
+  Spin! Sing! The golden thread
+  Gleams in the sunlight's ray!
+  The humming wheel my grief can heal,
+  For Love will find a way.
+
+
+[_First messenger appears at window, dressed as a Morning-glory._
+
+
+_Morning-glory_
+
+  Fair Princess,
+  This morning, when the early dawn
+  Was flushing all the sky,
+  Beside the trellis where I bloomed,
+  A knight rode slowly by.
+
+  He stopped and plucked me from my stem,
+  And said, "Sweet Morning-glory,
+  Be thou my messenger to-day,
+  And carry back my story.
+
+  "Go bid the Princess in the tower
+  Forget all thought of sorrow.
+  Her true knight will return to her
+  With joy, on some glad morrow."
+
+
+[_Disappears._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin! spin! The golden thread
+  Holds no thought of sorrow.
+  My true knight he shall come to me
+  With joy on some glad morrow.
+
+
+[_Second flower messenger, dressed as Pansy, appears at window._
+
+
+_Pansy_
+
+  Gracious Princess,
+  I come from Feal the Faithful.
+  He plucked me from my bower,
+  And said, speed to the Princess
+  And say, "Like this sweet flower
+  The thoughts within my bosom
+  Bloom ever, love, of thee.
+  Oh, read the pansy's message,
+  And give a thought to me."
+
+
+[_Pansy disappears._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread!
+  And turn, O humming wheel.
+  This pansy is his thought of me,
+  My true knight, brave and leal.
+
+
+[_Third flower messenger, a pink Rose._
+
+
+_Rose_
+
+  Thy true knight battled for thee to-day,
+  On a fierce and bloody field,
+  But he won at last in the hot affray,
+  By the heart of gold on his shield.
+
+  He saw me blushing beside a wall,
+  My petals pink in the sun
+  With pleasure, because such a valiant knight
+  The hard-fought battle had won.
+
+  And he kissed me once on my soft pink cheek,
+  And once in my heart of gold,
+  And bade me hasten to thee and speak.
+  Pray take the message I hold.
+
+
+[_Princess goes to the window, takes a pink rose from the messenger.
+As she walks back, kisses it and fastens it on her dress. Then turns to
+wheel again._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread,
+  And turn, O happy wheel.
+  The pink rose brought in its heart of gold
+  A kiss, his love to seal.
+
+
+[_Fourth messenger, a Forget-me-not._
+
+
+_Forget-me-not_
+
+  Fair Princess,
+  Down by the brook, when the sun was low,
+  A brave knight paused to slake
+  His thirst in the water's silver flow,
+  As he journeyed far for thy sake.
+
+  He saw me bending above the stream,
+  And he said, "Oh, happy spot!
+  Ye show me the Princess Winsome's eyes
+  In each blue forget-me-not."
+  He bade me bring you my name to hide
+  In your heart of hearts for ever,
+  And say as long as its blooms are blue,
+  No power true hearts can sever.
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread.
+  O wheel, my happy lot
+  It is to hide within my heart
+  That name, forget-me-not.
+
+
+[_Fifth messenger, a Poppy._
+
+
+_Poppy_
+
+  Dear Princess Winsome,
+  Within the shade of a forest glade
+  He laid him down to sleep,
+  And I, the Poppy, kept faithful guard
+  That it might be sweet and deep.
+  But oft in his dreams he stirred and spoke,
+  And thy name was on his tongue,
+  And I learned his secret ere he woke,
+  When the fair new day was young.
+  And this is what he, whispering, said,
+  As he journeyed on in his way:
+  "Bear her my dreams in your chalice red,
+  For I dream of her night and day."
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread.
+  He dreams of me night and day!
+  The poppy's chalice is sweet and red.
+  Oh, Love will find a way!
+
+
+[_Sixth messenger, a Daisy_.
+
+
+_Daisy_
+
+  O Princess fair,
+  Far on the edge of the Summer-land
+  I stood with my face to the sun,
+  And the brave knight counted with strong hand
+  My petals, one by one.
+
+  And he said, "O Daisy, white and gold,
+  The princess must count them too.
+  By thy petals shall she be told
+  If my long, far quest is through.
+
+  "Whether or not her knight has found
+  The South Wind's flute that he sought."
+  So over the hills from the Summer-land,
+  Your true knight's token I've brought.
+
+
+[_Gives Princess a large artificial daisy. She counts petals, slowly
+dropping them one by one_.
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Far on the edge of the Summer-land,
+  O Daisy, white and gold,
+  My true love held you in his hand.
+  What was the word he told?
+
+  He's found it. Found it not.
+  Found it. Found it not.
+
+  That magic flute of the South Wind, sweet,
+  Will he blow it, over the lea?
+  Will the fairy folk its call repeat,
+  And hasten to rescue me?
+
+  He's found it, found it not.
+  Found it, found it not.
+  Found it, found it not.
+  He's _found_ it!
+
+[_Turning to the dog._
+
+  Come, Hero! Hear me, brother mine;
+  Thy gladness must indeed be mute,
+  But oh, the joy! We're saved! We're saved!
+  My knight has found the silver flute!
+
+
+(_Sings_.)
+
+
+
+"_Spin, Wheel, Reel Out Thy Golden Thread_"
+
+
+[Illustration: Spin, Wheel, Reel Out Thy Golden Thread]
+
+   Spin, wheel, reel out thy golden thread,
+   My happy heart sings glad and gay,...
+   Hero  shall 'scape the Ogre dread,
+   And I my own true love shall wed,
+   For love has found a way,
+   For love has found a way.

+
+ACT III.
+
+
+SCENE. _In front of Witch's Orchard. Knight comes riding by, blows flute
+softly under the tower window. Princess leans out and waves her hand.
+Knight dismounts, and little page takes horse, leading it off stage._
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  Lean out of thy window, O Princess fair,
+  Rescuers now are at hand.
+  Thou shalt be led down the winding stair
+  By the Queen of the Fairy band.
+
+  Listen, as low on the South Wind's flute
+  I call the elves to our tryst.
+  Down rainbow bubbles they softly float,
+  Light-winged as stars in a mist.
+
+
+[_He blows a flute, and from every direction the Fairies come floating
+in, their gauzy wings spangled, and each one carrying a toy balloon,
+attached to a string. They trip back and forth, their balloons bobbing
+up and down like rainbow bubbles, singing._
+
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+
+[Illustration: Fairy Chorus]
+
+
+   We come, we come at thy call,
+   On rainbow bubbles we float.
+   We fairies, one and all,
+   Have answer'd the wind flute's note.
+
+1. The south wind's silver flute,
+   From the far-off summer land,
+   It bade us hasten here,
+   To lend a helping hand.
+   It bade us hasten, hasten here,
+   To lend a helping hand.
+
+2. To the aid of the gallant knight,
+   To the help of the princess fair,
+   To the rescue of the prince,
+   We come to the Ogre's lair.
+   To the rescue of the prince,
+   We come to the Ogre's lair.
+
+3. And now, at thy behest,
+   We pause in our bright array,
+   To end thy weary  quest,
+   For love has found a way,
+   To end thy weary, weary quest,
+   For love has found a way.
+
+
+[_Queen Titania coming forward, waves her star-tipped-wand, and looks
+up toward Princess at the window._
+
+
+_Titania_
+
+  Princess Winsome,
+  When thy good Godmother
+  Bade thee spin Love's thread,
+  It was with this promise,
+  These the words she said:
+
+  All the world helps gladly
+  Those who help themselves.
+  The thread thou spinnest bravely,
+  Shall be woven by elves.
+
+  And now, O Princess Winsome,
+  How much hast thou spun,
+  As thy wheel, a-whirling,
+  Turned from sun to sun?
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  This, O Queen Titania.
+
+[_Holding up mammoth ball._
+
+  To the humming wheel's refrain,
+  I sang, and spun the measure
+  Of one great golden skein.
+
+  And winding, winding, winding,
+  At last I wound it all,
+  Until the thread all golden
+  Made a mammoth wonder-ball.
+
+
+_Titania_
+
+  Here below thy casement
+  Thy true knight waiting stands.
+  Drop the ball thou holdest
+  Into his faithful hands.
+
+
+[_Princess drops the ball, Knight catches it, and as Titania waves her
+wand, he starts along the line of Fairies. They each take hold as the
+Witch and Ogre come darting in, she brandishing her broomstick, he his
+bludgeon. They come through gate of the Orchard in the background. As
+the ball unwinds, the Fairies march around them, tangling them in the
+yards and yards of narrow yellow ribbon, singing as they go._
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+  We come, we come at thy call,
+  On rainbow bubbles we float.
+  We fairies, one and all,
+  Have answered the Wind-flute's note.
+  To the aid of the gallant Knight,
+  To the help of the Princess fair,
+  To the rescue of the Prince,
+  We come to the Ogre's lair.
+
+  We come, we come at thy call,
+  The Witch and Ogre to quell,
+  And now they both must bow
+  To the might of the fairies' spell.
+  Love's Golden Thread can bind
+  The strongest Ogre's arm,
+  And the spell of the blackest Witch
+  Must yield to its mighty charm.
+
+
+[_Ogre and Witch stand bound and helpless, tangled in golden cord.
+They glower around with frightful grimaces. King and Queen enter
+unnoticed from side. Knight draws his sword, and brandishing it before
+Ogre, cries out fiercely._
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  The Key! The key that opens yonder tower!
+  Now give it me, or by my troth
+  Your head shall from your shoulders fly!
+  To stab you through I'm nothing loath!
+
+
+[_Ogre gives Knight the key. He rushes to the door, unlocks it, and
+Princess and dog burst out. Queen rushes forward and embraces her, then
+the King, and Knight kneels and kisses her hand. Princess turns to
+Titania._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Oh, happy day that sets me free
+  From yon dread Ogre's prison!
+  Oh, happy world, since 'tis for me
+  Such rescuers have 'risen.
+  But see, your Majesty! the plight
+  Of Hero--he the Prince, my brother!
+  Wilt thou _his_ wrong not set aright?
+  Another favour grant! One other!
+
+
+[_Titania waves wand toward Knight who springs at Witch with drawn sword_.
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  The spell! The spell that breaks the power
+  That holds Prince Hero in its thrall!
+  Now give it me, or in this hour
+  Thy head shall from its shoulders fall!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Pluck with your thumbs
+  Seven silver plums
+
+[_Speaking in high, cracked voice_.
+
+  From my golden apple-tree!
+  These the dog must eat.
+  The change will be complete,
+  And a prince once more the dog will be!
+
+
+[_Princess darts back into orchard, followed by dog, who crouches
+behind hedge, and is seen no more. She picks plums, and, stooping, gives
+them to him, under cover of the hedge. The real Prince Hero leaps up
+from the place where he has been lying, waiting, and hand in hand they
+run back to the centre of the stage, where the Prince receives the
+embraces of King and Queen. Prince then turns to Knight_.
+
+
+_Prince Hero_
+
+  Hail, Feal the Faithful!
+  My gratitude I cannot tell,
+  That thou at last hast freed me
+  From the Witch's fearful spell.
+  But wheresoe'er thou goest,
+  Thou faithful knight and true,
+  The favours of my kingdom
+  Shall all be showered on you.
+
+
+[_Turns to Titania._
+
+
+  Hail, starry-winged Titania!
+  And ye fairies, rainbow-hued!
+  I have not words sufficient
+  To tell my gratitude,
+  But if the loyal service
+  Of a mortal ye should need,
+  Prince Hero lives to serve you,
+  No matter what the deed!
+
+
+[_Characters now group themselves in tableau. Queen and Prince on one
+side. Godmother and Titania on the other. King in centre, with Princess
+on one hand, Knight on other. He places her hand in the Knight's, who
+kneels to receive it. Ogre and Witch, still making horrible faces, are
+slightly in background, bound. Fairies form an outer semi-circle_.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  And now, brave Knight, requited stand!
+  Here is the Princess Winsome's hand.
+  To-morrow thou shalt wedded be,
+  And half my kingdom is for thee!
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+  Love's golden cord has bound
+  The strongest Ogre's arm,
+  And the spell of the blackest Witch
+  Has yielded to its charm.
+  The Princess Winsome plights
+  Her troth to the Knight to-day,
+  So fairies, one and all,
+  We need no longer stay.
+
+  The golden thread is spun,
+  The Knight has won his bride,
+  And now our task is done,
+  We may no longer bide.
+  On rainbow bubbles bright,
+  We fairies float away.
+  _The wrong is now set right_
+  _And Love has found the way!_

+
+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.

+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:

+
+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

+    <i>PUBLISHERS' NOTE</i>
+</h2>
+<p>
+The Princess Winsome, the part taken by the "Little Colonel" in the play
+called "The Rescue of Princess Winsome" in "The Little Colonel's Hero,"
+has shared the popularity of the creator of the rôle.
+</p>
+<p>
+Appealing to children because of its association with their favorite
+heroine, and to their parents because of its high moral tone and the
+beauty of its lines, the play has found great favor among children's
+clubs for their private theatricals, in many cases rivalling the success
+of the "Little Colonel" and her friends in obtaining funds for
+charitable purposes.
+</p>
+<p>
+In response to repeated requests, the publishers are glad to present the
+play in separate form, making it more easily accessible to young amateur
+actors and actresses.

+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

+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

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+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

+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.

+     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

+
+- 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

+
+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 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.

+_PUBLISHERS' NOTE_
+
+
+The Princess Winsome, the part taken by the "Little Colonel" in the play
+called "The Rescue of Princess Winsome" in "The Little Colonel's Hero,"
+has shared the popularity of the creator of the role.
+
+Appealing to children because of its association with their favorite
+heroine, and to their parents because of its high moral tone and the
+beauty of its lines, the play has found great favor among children's
+clubs for their private theatricals, in many cases rivalling the success
+of the "Little Colonel" and her friends in obtaining funds for
+charitable purposes.
+
+In response to repeated requests, the publishers are glad to present the
+play in separate form, making it more easily accessible to young amateur
+actors and actresses.

+
+"_THE RESCUE OF THE PRINCESS WINSOME_"
+
+
+ACT I.
+
+SCENE I. _Witch bends over fire in middle of orchard, brewing a charm in
+her caldron. Ogre stalks in, grinning frightfully, swinging his bludgeon
+in triumph_.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Ha, old witch, it is done at last!
+  I have broken the King's stronghold!
+  I have stolen away his children twain
+  From the clutch of their guardsmen bold.
+  I have dragged them here to my castle tower.
+  Prince Hero is strong and fair.
+  But he and his sister shall rue my power,
+  When once up yon winding stair.
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Now why didst thou plot such a wicked thing?
+  The children no harm have done.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  But I have a grudge 'gainst their father, the King,
+  A grudge that is old as the sun.
+  And hark ye, old hag, I must have thy aid
+  Before the new moon be risen.
+  Now brew me a charm in thy caldron black,
+  That shall keep them fast in their prison!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  I'll brew thee no charm, thou Ogre dread!
+  Knowest thou not full well
+  The Princess thou hast stolen away
+  Is guarded by Fairy spell?
+  Her godmother over her cradle bent.
+  "O Princess Winsome," she said,
+  "I give thee this gift: thou shalt deftly spin,
+  As thou wishest, Love's golden thread."
+  So I dare not brew thee a spell 'gainst her.
+  My caldron would grow acold
+  And never again would bubble up,
+  If touched by her thread of gold.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Then give me a charm to bind the prince.
+  Thou canst do that much at least.
+  I'll give thee more gold than hands can hold,
+  If thou'lt change him into some beast.
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  I have need of gold--so on the fire
+  I'll pile my fagots higher and higher,
+  And in the bubbling water stir
+  This hank of hair, this patch of fur
+  This feather and this flapping fin,
+  This claw, this bone, this dried snake skin!
+      Bubble and boil
+      And snake skin coil,
+      This charm shall all plans
+      But the Ogre's foil.
+
+
+[_As Witch stirs and sings, the Ogre, stalking to the side, calls._
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Ho, Frog-eye Fearsome, let the sport begin!
+  Hence to the tower! Drag the captives in!
+
+
+[_Frog-eye Fearsome drags Prince Hero and Princess Winsome across the
+stage, and into the door leading up the tower stair. They are bound by
+ropes. Prince tries to reach his sword. Princess shrieks._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Oh, save us, good, wise witch,
+  In pity, save us, pray.
+  The King, our royal father,
+  Thy goodness will repay.
+
+
+[_Pulls back, wringing hand._
+
+
+  Oh, I cannot, _cannot_ mount the tower!
+  Oh, save us from the bloody Ogre's power!
+
+
+[_They are dragged into the tower, door bangs and Ogre locks it with
+key a yard long. Goes back to Witch, who hands him vial filled from
+caldron with black mixture._
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Pour drop by drop upon Prince Hero's tongue.
+  First he will bark.  His hands and feet
+  Will turn to paws, and he will seem a dog.
+  Seven drops will make the change complete.
+  The poison has no antidote save one,
+  And he a prince again can never be,
+  Unless seven silver plums he eats,
+  Plucked from my golden apple-tree.
+
+
+_Ogre_
+
+  Revenge is sweet,
+  And soon 'twill be complete!
+  Then to my den I'll haste for gold to delve.
+  I'll bring it at the black, bleak hour of twelve!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  And I upon my broomstick now must fly
+  To woodland tryst. Come, Horned Owl
+  And Venomed Toad! Now play the spy!
+  Let no one through my orchard prowl.
+
+
+[_Exit Witch and Ogre to dirge music._
+
+
+
+SCENE II. _Enter King and Queen weeping. They pace up and down, wringing
+hands, and showing great signs of grief. Godmother enters from opposite
+side. King speaks._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Good dame, Godmother of our daughter dear,
+  Perhaps thou'st heard our tale of woe.
+  Our children twain are stolen away
+  By Ogre Grim, mine ancient foe.
+
+  All up and down the land we've sought
+  For help to break into his tower.
+  And now, our searching all for nought,
+  We've come to beg the Witch's power.
+
+
+[_Godmother springs forward, finger to lip, and anxiously waves them
+away from orchard._
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Nay! Nay! Your Majesty, go not
+  Within that orchard, now I pray!
+  The Witch and Ogre are in league.
+  They've wrought you fearful harm this day.
+  She brewed a draught to change the prince
+  Into a dog! Oh, woe is me!
+  I passed the tower and heard him bark:
+  Alack! That I must tell it thee!
+
+
+[_Queen shrieks and falls back in the King's arms, then recovering
+falls to wailing._
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  My noble son a _dog_? A _beast_?
+  It cannot, must not, _shall_ not be!
+  I'll brave the Ogre in his den,
+  And plead upon my bended knee!
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Thou couldst not touch his heart of stone.
+  He'd keep _thee_ captive in his lair.
+  The Princess Winsome can alone
+  Remove the cause of thy despair.
+  And I unto the tower will climb,
+  And ere is gone the sunset's red,
+  Shall bid her spin a counter charm--
+  A skein of Love's own Golden Thread.
+  Take heart, O mother Queen! Be brave!
+  Take heart, O gracious King, I pray!
+  Well can she spin Love's Golden Thread,
+  And Love can _always_ find a way!
+
+
+[_Exit Godmother._
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  She's gone, good dame. But what if she
+  Has made mistake, and thread of gold
+  Is not enough to draw our son
+  From out the Ogre's cruel hold?
+  Canst think of nought, your Majesty?
+  Of nothing else? Must we stand here
+  And powerless lift no hand to speed
+  The rescue of our children dear?
+
+
+[_King clasps hand to his head in thought, then starts forward._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  I have it now! This hour I'll send
+  Swift heralds through my wide domains,
+  To say the knight who rescues them
+  Shall wed the Princess for his pains.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+
+  Quick! Let us fly! I hear the sound of feet,
+  As if some horseman were approaching nigher.
+  'Twould not be seemly should he meet
+  Our royal selves so near the Witch's fire.
+
+
+[_They start to run, but are met by Knight on horseback in centre of
+stage. He dismounts and drops to one knee._
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Tis Feal the Faithful! Rise, Sir Knight,
+  And tell us what thou doest here!
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  O Sire, I know your children's plight.
+  I go to ease your royal fear.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  Now if thou bringst them back to us,
+  A thousand blessings on thy head.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Ay, half my kingdom shall be thine.
+  The Princess Winsome thou shalt wed.
+
+
+_Queen_
+
+  But tell us, how dost thou think to cope
+  With the Ogre so dread and grim?
+  What is the charm that bids thee hope
+  Thou canst rout and vanquish him?
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  My faithful heart is my only charm,
+  But my good broadsword is keen,
+  And love for the princess nerves my arm
+  With the strength of ten, I ween.
+  Come weal, come woe, no knight can fail
+  Who goes at Love's behest.
+  Long ere one moon shall wax and wane,
+  I shall be back from my quest.
+  I have only to find the South Wind's flute.
+  In the Land of Summer it lies.
+  It can awaken the echoes mute,
+  With answering replies.
+  And it can summon the fairy folk
+  Who never have said me nay.
+  They'll come to my aid at the flute's clear call.
+  Love _always_ can find a way.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  Go, Feal the Faithful. It is well!
+  Successful mayst thou be,
+  And all the way that thou dost ride,
+  Our blessings follow thee.
+
+[_Curtain._
+
+
+
+
+ACT II.
+
+
+SCENE. _Room in Ogre's tower. Princess Winsome kneeling with arm
+around Dog's neck._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  _Art_ thou my brother? Can it be
+  That thou hast taken such shape?
+  Oh turn those sad eyes not on me!
+  There _must_ be some escape.
+  And yet our parents think us dead.
+  No doubt they weep this very hour,
+  For no one ever has escaped,
+  Ere this, the Ogre's power.
+  Oh cruel fate! We can but die!
+  Each moment seems a week.
+  _Is_ there no hope? Oh, Hero dear,
+  If thou couldst only speak!
+  But no! Within this tower room
+  We're captive, and despair
+  Must settle on us. 'Tis the doom
+  Of all dragged up yon winding stair.
+
+
+[_Drops her head and weeps. Enter Godmother, who waves wand and
+throwing back curtain, displays a spinning-wheel._
+
+
+_Godmother_
+
+  Rise, Princess Winsome,
+  Dry your weeping eyes.
+  The way of escape
+  Within your own hand lies.
+
+  Waste no time in sorrow,
+  Spin and sing instead.
+  Spin for thy brother's sake,
+  A skein of golden thread.
+
+  Question not the future,
+  Mourn not the past,
+  But keep thy wheel a-turning,
+  Spinning well and fast.
+
+  All the world helps gladly
+  Those who help themselves,
+  And the thread thou spinnest,
+  Shall be woven by elves.
+
+  All good things shall speed thee!
+  Thy knight, the Faithful Feal,
+  Is to thy rescue riding.
+  Up! To thy spinning-wheel!
+
+
+[_Disappears behind curtain._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  All good things shall speed me?
+  Sir Knight, the Faithful Feal,
+  Is to my rescue riding?
+
+
+[_In joyful surprise._
+
+
+  Turn, turn, my spinning-wheel!
+
+
+(_She sings._)
+
+
+
+_Spinning Wheel Song_
+
+
+[Illustration: Spinning Wheel Song]
+
+
+1. My godmother bids me spin,
+   that my heart may not be sad.
+   Spin and sing for my brother's sake,
+   and the spinning makes me glad.
+
+2. Spin, sing with humming whir,
+   the wheel goes round and round.
+   For my brother's sake, the charm I'll break,
+   Prince Hero shall be found.
+
+   Spin, sing, the golden thread,
+   Gleams in the sun's bright ray,
+   The humming wheel my grief can heal,
+   For love will find a way.
+
+
+[_Pauses with uplifted hand._
+
+
+  What's that at my casement tapping?
+  Some messenger, maybe.
+  Pause, good wheel, in thy turning,
+  While I look out and see.
+
+
+[_Opens casement and leans out, as if welcoming a carrier dove, which
+may be concealed in basket outside window._
+
+
+  Little white dove, from my faithful knight,
+  Dost thou bring a message to me?
+  Little white dove with the white, white breast,
+  What may that message be?
+
+
+[_Finds note, tied to wing._
+
+
+  Here is his letter. Ah, well-a-day!
+  I'll open it now, and read.
+  Little carrier dove, with fluttering heart,
+  I'm a happy maiden, indeed.
+  (_She reads._) "O Princess fair, in the Ogre's tower,
+  In the far-off Summer-land
+  I seek the South Wind's silver flute,
+  To summon a fairy band.
+  Now send me a token by the dove
+  That thou hast read my note.
+  Send me the little heart of gold
+  From the chain about thy throat.
+  And I shall bind it upon my shield,
+  My talisman there to stay.
+  And then all foes to me must yield,
+  For Love will find the way.
+
+  Here is set the hand and seal
+  Of thy own true knight, the faithful--Feal."
+
+
+[_Princess takes locket from throat and winds chain around dove's neck._
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+
+
+_The Dove Song_
+
+
+[Illustration: The Dove Song]
+
+   Now, flutter and fly, flutter and fly,
+   Bear him my heart of gold,
+   Bid him be brave little carrier dove!
+   Bid him be brave and bold!
+
+   Tell him that I at my spinning wheel,
+   Will sing while it turns and hums,
+   And think all day of his love so leal,
+   Until with the flute he comes.
+
+   Now fly, flutter and fly,
+   Now flutter and fly away, away.
+
+
+[_Sets dove at liberty. Turning to wheel again, repeats song._
+
+
+_Princess repeats_
+
+  My Godmother bids me spin,
+  That my heart may not be sad;
+  Spin and sing for my brother's sake,
+  And the spinning makes me glad.
+
+  Sing! Spin! With hum and whir
+  The wheel goes round and round.
+  For my brother's sake the charm I'll break!
+  Prince Hero shall be found.
+
+  Spin! Sing! The golden thread
+  Gleams in the sunlight's ray!
+  The humming wheel my grief can heal,
+  For Love will find a way.
+
+
+[_First messenger appears at window, dressed as a Morning-glory._
+
+
+_Morning-glory_
+
+  Fair Princess,
+  This morning, when the early dawn
+  Was flushing all the sky,
+  Beside the trellis where I bloomed,
+  A knight rode slowly by.
+
+  He stopped and plucked me from my stem,
+  And said, "Sweet Morning-glory,
+  Be thou my messenger to-day,
+  And carry back my story.
+
+  "Go bid the Princess in the tower
+  Forget all thought of sorrow.
+  Her true knight will return to her
+  With joy, on some glad morrow."
+
+
+[_Disappears._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin! spin! The golden thread
+  Holds no thought of sorrow.
+  My true knight he shall come to me
+  With joy on some glad morrow.
+
+
+[_Second flower messenger, dressed as Pansy, appears at window._
+
+
+_Pansy_
+
+  Gracious Princess,
+  I come from Feal the Faithful.
+  He plucked me from my bower,
+  And said, speed to the Princess
+  And say, "Like this sweet flower
+  The thoughts within my bosom
+  Bloom ever, love, of thee.
+  Oh, read the pansy's message,
+  And give a thought to me."
+
+
+[_Pansy disappears._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread!
+  And turn, O humming wheel.
+  This pansy is his thought of me,
+  My true knight, brave and leal.
+
+
+[_Third flower messenger, a pink Rose._
+
+
+_Rose_
+
+  Thy true knight battled for thee to-day,
+  On a fierce and bloody field,
+  But he won at last in the hot affray,
+  By the heart of gold on his shield.
+
+  He saw me blushing beside a wall,
+  My petals pink in the sun
+  With pleasure, because such a valiant knight
+  The hard-fought battle had won.
+
+  And he kissed me once on my soft pink cheek,
+  And once in my heart of gold,
+  And bade me hasten to thee and speak.
+  Pray take the message I hold.
+
+
+[_Princess goes to the window, takes a pink rose from the messenger.
+As she walks back, kisses it and fastens it on her dress. Then turns to
+wheel again._
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread,
+  And turn, O happy wheel.
+  The pink rose brought in its heart of gold
+  A kiss, his love to seal.
+
+
+[_Fourth messenger, a Forget-me-not._
+
+
+_Forget-me-not_
+
+  Fair Princess,
+  Down by the brook, when the sun was low,
+  A brave knight paused to slake
+  His thirst in the water's silver flow,
+  As he journeyed far for thy sake.
+
+  He saw me bending above the stream,
+  And he said, "Oh, happy spot!
+  Ye show me the Princess Winsome's eyes
+  In each blue forget-me-not."
+  He bade me bring you my name to hide
+  In your heart of hearts for ever,
+  And say as long as its blooms are blue,
+  No power true hearts can sever.
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread.
+  O wheel, my happy lot
+  It is to hide within my heart
+  That name, forget-me-not.
+
+
+[_Fifth messenger, a Poppy._
+
+
+_Poppy_
+
+  Dear Princess Winsome,
+  Within the shade of a forest glade
+  He laid him down to sleep,
+  And I, the Poppy, kept faithful guard
+  That it might be sweet and deep.
+  But oft in his dreams he stirred and spoke,
+  And thy name was on his tongue,
+  And I learned his secret ere he woke,
+  When the fair new day was young.
+  And this is what he, whispering, said,
+  As he journeyed on in his way:
+  "Bear her my dreams in your chalice red,
+  For I dream of her night and day."
+
+
+_Princess sings_
+
+  Spin, spin, O golden thread.
+  He dreams of me night and day!
+  The poppy's chalice is sweet and red.
+  Oh, Love will find a way!
+
+
+[_Sixth messenger, a Daisy_.
+
+
+_Daisy_
+
+  O Princess fair,
+  Far on the edge of the Summer-land
+  I stood with my face to the sun,
+  And the brave knight counted with strong hand
+  My petals, one by one.
+
+  And he said, "O Daisy, white and gold,
+  The princess must count them too.
+  By thy petals shall she be told
+  If my long, far quest is through.
+
+  "Whether or not her knight has found
+  The South Wind's flute that he sought."
+  So over the hills from the Summer-land,
+  Your true knight's token I've brought.
+
+
+[_Gives Princess a large artificial daisy. She counts petals, slowly
+dropping them one by one_.
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Far on the edge of the Summer-land,
+  O Daisy, white and gold,
+  My true love held you in his hand.
+  What was the word he told?
+
+  He's found it. Found it not.
+  Found it. Found it not.
+
+  That magic flute of the South Wind, sweet,
+  Will he blow it, over the lea?
+  Will the fairy folk its call repeat,
+  And hasten to rescue me?
+
+  He's found it, found it not.
+  Found it, found it not.
+  Found it, found it not.
+  He's _found_ it!
+
+[_Turning to the dog._
+
+  Come, Hero! Hear me, brother mine;
+  Thy gladness must indeed be mute,
+  But oh, the joy! We're saved! We're saved!
+  My knight has found the silver flute!
+
+
+(_Sings_.)
+
+
+
+"_Spin, Wheel, Reel Out Thy Golden Thread_"
+
+
+[Illustration: Spin, Wheel, Reel Out Thy Golden Thread]
+
+   Spin, wheel, reel out thy golden thread,
+   My happy heart sings glad and gay,...
+   Hero  shall 'scape the Ogre dread,
+   And I my own true love shall wed,
+   For love has found a way,
+   For love has found a way.

+ACT III.
+
+
+SCENE. _In front of Witch's Orchard. Knight comes riding by, blows flute
+softly under the tower window. Princess leans out and waves her hand.
+Knight dismounts, and little page takes horse, leading it off stage._
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  Lean out of thy window, O Princess fair,
+  Rescuers now are at hand.
+  Thou shalt be led down the winding stair
+  By the Queen of the Fairy band.
+
+  Listen, as low on the South Wind's flute
+  I call the elves to our tryst.
+  Down rainbow bubbles they softly float,
+  Light-winged as stars in a mist.
+
+
+[_He blows a flute, and from every direction the Fairies come floating
+in, their gauzy wings spangled, and each one carrying a toy balloon,
+attached to a string. They trip back and forth, their balloons bobbing
+up and down like rainbow bubbles, singing._
+
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+
+[Illustration: Fairy Chorus]
+
+
+   We come, we come at thy call,
+   On rainbow bubbles we float.
+   We fairies, one and all,
+   Have answer'd the wind flute's note.
+
+1. The south wind's silver flute,
+   From the far-off summer land,
+   It bade us hasten here,
+   To lend a helping hand.
+   It bade us hasten, hasten here,
+   To lend a helping hand.
+
+2. To the aid of the gallant knight,
+   To the help of the princess fair,
+   To the rescue of the prince,
+   We come to the Ogre's lair.
+   To the rescue of the prince,
+   We come to the Ogre's lair.
+
+3. And now, at thy behest,
+   We pause in our bright array,
+   To end thy weary  quest,
+   For love has found a way,
+   To end thy weary, weary quest,
+   For love has found a way.
+
+
+[_Queen Titania coming forward, waves her star-tipped-wand, and looks
+up toward Princess at the window._
+
+
+_Titania_
+
+  Princess Winsome,
+  When thy good Godmother
+  Bade thee spin Love's thread,
+  It was with this promise,
+  These the words she said:
+
+  All the world helps gladly
+  Those who help themselves.
+  The thread thou spinnest bravely,
+  Shall be woven by elves.
+
+  And now, O Princess Winsome,
+  How much hast thou spun,
+  As thy wheel, a-whirling,
+  Turned from sun to sun?
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  This, O Queen Titania.
+
+[_Holding up mammoth ball._
+
+  To the humming wheel's refrain,
+  I sang, and spun the measure
+  Of one great golden skein.
+
+  And winding, winding, winding,
+  At last I wound it all,
+  Until the thread all golden
+  Made a mammoth wonder-ball.
+
+
+_Titania_
+
+  Here below thy casement
+  Thy true knight waiting stands.
+  Drop the ball thou holdest
+  Into his faithful hands.
+
+
+[_Princess drops the ball, Knight catches it, and as Titania waves her
+wand, he starts along the line of Fairies. They each take hold as the
+Witch and Ogre come darting in, she brandishing her broomstick, he his
+bludgeon. They come through gate of the Orchard in the background. As
+the ball unwinds, the Fairies march around them, tangling them in the
+yards and yards of narrow yellow ribbon, singing as they go._
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+  We come, we come at thy call,
+  On rainbow bubbles we float.
+  We fairies, one and all,
+  Have answered the Wind-flute's note.
+  To the aid of the gallant Knight,
+  To the help of the Princess fair,
+  To the rescue of the Prince,
+  We come to the Ogre's lair.
+
+  We come, we come at thy call,
+  The Witch and Ogre to quell,
+  And now they both must bow
+  To the might of the fairies' spell.
+  Love's Golden Thread can bind
+  The strongest Ogre's arm,
+  And the spell of the blackest Witch
+  Must yield to its mighty charm.
+
+
+[_Ogre and Witch stand bound and helpless, tangled in golden cord.
+They glower around with frightful grimaces. King and Queen enter
+unnoticed from side. Knight draws his sword, and brandishing it before
+Ogre, cries out fiercely._
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  The Key! The key that opens yonder tower!
+  Now give it me, or by my troth
+  Your head shall from your shoulders fly!
+  To stab you through I'm nothing loath!
+
+
+[_Ogre gives Knight the key. He rushes to the door, unlocks it, and
+Princess and dog burst out. Queen rushes forward and embraces her, then
+the King, and Knight kneels and kisses her hand. Princess turns to
+Titania._
+
+
+_Princess_
+
+  Oh, happy day that sets me free
+  From yon dread Ogre's prison!
+  Oh, happy world, since 'tis for me
+  Such rescuers have 'risen.
+  But see, your Majesty! the plight
+  Of Hero--he the Prince, my brother!
+  Wilt thou _his_ wrong not set aright?
+  Another favour grant! One other!
+
+
+[_Titania waves wand toward Knight who springs at Witch with drawn sword_.
+
+
+_Knight_
+
+  The spell! The spell that breaks the power
+  That holds Prince Hero in its thrall!
+  Now give it me, or in this hour
+  Thy head shall from its shoulders fall!
+
+
+_Witch_
+
+  Pluck with your thumbs
+  Seven silver plums
+
+[_Speaking in high, cracked voice_.
+
+  From my golden apple-tree!
+  These the dog must eat.
+  The change will be complete,
+  And a prince once more the dog will be!
+
+
+[_Princess darts back into orchard, followed by dog, who crouches
+behind hedge, and is seen no more. She picks plums, and, stooping, gives
+them to him, under cover of the hedge. The real Prince Hero leaps up
+from the place where he has been lying, waiting, and hand in hand they
+run back to the centre of the stage, where the Prince receives the
+embraces of King and Queen. Prince then turns to Knight_.
+
+
+_Prince Hero_
+
+  Hail, Feal the Faithful!
+  My gratitude I cannot tell,
+  That thou at last hast freed me
+  From the Witch's fearful spell.
+  But wheresoe'er thou goest,
+  Thou faithful knight and true,
+  The favours of my kingdom
+  Shall all be showered on you.
+
+
+[_Turns to Titania._
+
+
+  Hail, starry-winged Titania!
+  And ye fairies, rainbow-hued!
+  I have not words sufficient
+  To tell my gratitude,
+  But if the loyal service
+  Of a mortal ye should need,
+  Prince Hero lives to serve you,
+  No matter what the deed!
+
+
+[_Characters now group themselves in tableau. Queen and Prince on one
+side. Godmother and Titania on the other. King in centre, with Princess
+on one hand, Knight on other. He places her hand in the Knight's, who
+kneels to receive it. Ogre and Witch, still making horrible faces, are
+slightly in background, bound. Fairies form an outer semi-circle_.
+
+
+_King_
+
+  And now, brave Knight, requited stand!
+  Here is the Princess Winsome's hand.
+  To-morrow thou shalt wedded be,
+  And half my kingdom is for thee!
+
+
+_Fairy Chorus_
+
+  Love's golden cord has bound
+  The strongest Ogre's arm,
+  And the spell of the blackest Witch
+  Has yielded to its charm.
+  The Princess Winsome plights
+  Her troth to the Knight to-day,
+  So fairies, one and all,
+  We need no longer stay.
+
+  The golden thread is spun,
+  The Knight has won his bride,
+  And now our task is done,
+  We may no longer bide.
+  On rainbow bubbles bright,
+  We fairies float away.
+  _The wrong is now set right_
+  _And Love has found the way!_

+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.

+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

+
+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 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.
