+                        _the hope of the future_
+
+
+
+
+This little sketch was prepared very hurriedly in order to give scope to
+the volunteer efforts of certain of the younger members of the community
+who had undertaken to provide the entertainment for the Christmas
+celebration of 1910 of the Peace Dale Congregational Sunday School.
+
+After looking patiently and long for something which they could act for
+the entertainment of their fellows, they despaired of finding anything
+they would like.
+
+In their dilemma they appealed to me, saying that their principal desire
+was to introduce the singing of Christmas carols in some way not too
+commonplace.
+
+The characters were taken by inexperienced actors who, nevertheless,
+presented the masque in a very genuine and convincing manner.
+
+The whole time of action was about thirty-five minutes, including the
+singing of the Christmas carols. I was urged to amplify the action, in
+order to somewhat prolong the part played by Robin Hood and his men,
+but, after some effort in this direction, I gave it up, as the principal
+merit of the masque seemed to me to be its brevity.
+
+Several friends have urged its preservation in print in the hope that it
+may prove suggestive or useful to others in like predicament.

+
+
+                     How Robin Hood once was a Wait
+
+
+    (Curtain rising discloses a wood scene. In center a small house.
+    Snow falls. Robin Hood and his merry men advance from left
+    wings, one singing the XIII Century Rondo)--
+
+
+  King Arthur had three sons, that he had;
+  King Arthur had three sons, that he had;
+  He had three sons of yore, and he kicked them out of door
+  Because they could not sing, that he did.
+
+                           Chorus--the same.
+
+                           (Repeat singing.)
+
+
+Robin--Well, lads, ye've fed full this day,
+       So 'tis well to be gay;
+
+                   *       *       *       *       *
+
+       In spite of the weather
+       Let's merry be together.
+
+       Yon house stuffed with babes
+       Deserves a kind deed,
+       But we've nothing to give them,
+       Tho 'tis Christmas, as all are agreed.
+
+    (The Waits enter from right, tuning instruments and show fear of
+    Robin's men, who advance threateningly towards them.)
+
+Robin (hectoring)--And who gave ye leave to break the mighty silence of
+    our wood?
+
+Wait (deprecatingly)--Softly, Kind Master, we be but simple singers come
+    to joy yon lonely widow with songs of Christmas-tide.
+
+Robin--Singers, idle and vain, we'll have ye know 'tis death to enter
+    here without our license.
+
+Waits--We be waits, good sir, and have ever license to sing the birth of
+    Christ our Lord, born this day.
+
+Robin (scornfully)--And what be waits?
+
+Wait (with solemnity)--We wait upon the coming of our Lord, Son of Mary
+    and Heaven's Almighty King. And while we patient wait, we sing.
+
+Robin (appeased)--Waits, that's better, and who gave word of this widow
+    and her dozen brats?
+
+Wait--My fiddler here is cousin to the widow's dead man.
+
+Robin (relenting)--What says't thou, Long John and Watt and Jolly Tuck,
+    how would ye like to join this band of Waits for once and sing like
+    Christians to the widow's brats?
+
+Tuck (deep bass)--Ay, 't would be well for once to use the lore I once
+    knew well. I'll go.
+
+Long John--I'll go.
+
+Watt--I'll go, but I can only buzz.
+
+    (They advance together towards house grouping towards right,
+    leaving house in full view of audience, who see many children at
+    a lighted window, but not one looking out.)
+
+             (They sing after more tuning of instruments)--
+
+
+                          Good King Wenceslas.
+
+                                   1.
+
+    Good King Wenceslas looked out
+      On the Feast of Stephen,
+    When the snow lay round about,
+      Deep and crisp, and even;
+    Brightly shone the moon that night,
+      Though the frost was cruel,
+    When a poor man came in sight,
+      Gathering winter fuel.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    "Hither, page, and stand by me,
+      If thou know'st, telling,
+    Yonder peasant, who is he?
+      Where and what his dwelling?"
+    "Sire, he lives a good league hence,
+      Underneath the mountain;
+    Right against the forest fence,
+      By Saint Agnes' fountain."
+
+                                   3.
+
+    "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
+      Bring me pine-logs hither;
+    Thou and I will see him dine,
+      When we bear them thither."
+    Page and monarch forth they went,
+      Forth they went together;
+    Through the rude wind's wild lament;
+      And the bitter weather.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    "Sire, the night is darker now,
+      And the wind blows stronger;
+    Fails my heart, I know not how,
+      I can go no longer."
+    Mark my footsteps, my good page
+      Tread thou in them boldly;
+    Thou shalt find the winter's rage
+      Freeze thy blood less coldly.
+
+                                   5.
+
+    In his master's steps he trod,
+      Where the snow lay dinted;
+    Heat was in the very sod
+      Which the saint had printed.
+    Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
+      Wealth or rank possessing,
+    Ye who now will bless the poor,
+      Shall yourselves find blessing.
+
+
+                            The First No�l.
+
+                                   1.
+
+    The first No�l the Angel did say,
+    Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
+    In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
+    On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
+
+                                 Chorus.
+
+        No�l, No�l, No�l, No�l,
+        Born is the King of Israel.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    They looked up and saw a Star,
+    Shining in the East, beyond them far,
+    And to the earth it gave great light,
+    And so it continued both day and night.
+
+        No�l, etc.
+
+                                   3.
+
+    And by the light of that same Star,
+    Three Wisemen came from country far;
+    To seek for a King was their intent,
+    And to follow the Star wherever it went.
+
+        No�l, etc.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    This Star drew nigh to the north-west,
+    O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
+    And there it did both stop and stay,
+    Right over the place where Jesus lay.
+
+        No�l, etc.
+
+                                   5.
+
+    Then entered in those Wisemen three,
+    Full reverently upon their knee,
+    And offered there, in His Presence,
+    Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
+
+        No�l, etc.
+
+                                   6.
+
+    Then let us all with one accord,
+    Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
+    That hath made Heaven and earth of nought,
+    And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
+
+                                 No�l, etc.
+
+
+                     God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen.
+
+                          (Old English No�l.)
+
+                                   1.
+
+    God rest you, merry gentlemen,
+      Let nothing you dismay,
+    Remember Christ our Saviour
+      Was born on Christmas Day,
+    To save us all from Satan's power,
+      When we were gone astray;
+
+    Chorus
+
+        O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
+        O tidings of comfort and joy.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
+      This blessed Babe was born,
+    And laid within a manger,
+      Upon this blessed morn;
+    The which His Mother, Mary,
+      Did nothing take in scorn.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+                                   3.
+
+    From God our Heavenly Father,
+      A blessed Angel came;
+    And unto certain Shepherds
+      Brought tidings of the same:
+    How that in Bethlehem was born
+      The Son of God by Name.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    Now to the Lord sing praises,
+      All you within this place,
+    And with true love and brotherhood
+      Each other now embrace;
+    This holy tide of Christmas
+      All other doth deface.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+    (At second carol, the children come out with half-eaten apples
+    and oaten cake, to stand listening to the singing. The children
+    mingle with the waits and offer them bites of their apples, etc.
+    The widow comes out with a big steaming pot of mead to thank the
+    waits. Offers pot. Robin's men each try to take first drink.
+    Robin stops quarrel and hands it to Tuck, who drinks hastily,
+    and so burns his mouth.)
+
+Widow--Oh! kind gentlemen, bless your hearts for this. It's many a year
+    since I heard the sound of a Christmas carol. It does my old heart
+    good. Bless ye, bless ye.
+
+    (Descries the fiddler cousin, falls on his shoulder, and makes
+    talk of his family--_sotto voce_.)
+
+                (Robin's men draw off and sing again)--
+
+                King Arthur had three sons, that he had.
+
+    (A basket lowered from above with Santa Claus in it begins to
+    appear to the audience. No one on stage sees it. Santa Claus
+    reaches out and taps Robin on the head, smartly, with a bit of
+    rope. Knocks off his hat.)
+
+Robin (terrified)--Saints preserve us. Who smote me?
+
+          (Sees balloon. Points to it. All cry out in alarm.)
+
+Robin--An air-man; a Miracle! The day of miracles!
+
+Santa Claus (intones high tenor voice)--Fear not, except for thy sins. I
+    came to hear; what music was it ye sang?--Nay be not
+    affrighted--I'll e'en stand among ye. So shall ye see I bode no ill.
+
+                        (Alights from his car.)
+
+Robin--Canst fly? How else cam'st hither? Truly a Miracle art thou.
+
+Santa Claus--No Miracle am I, but the dear Christ's Almoner; who comes
+    this night and every Christmas-tide bearing gifts for all good
+    children and a good gift for all, even Jesus' love and Peace on
+    Earth, good will toward men. But this is a miracle, in truth, for
+    here be Waits joined hands with Robin Hood in songs of praise for
+    Christus' birth.
+
+    Praise God for this and all good deeds, and by such shall these wild
+    hearts (turns to Robin's men) learn gentle love for all mankind.
+
+       (Exit.  Robin leads his men, exit to right. Waits follow.)
+
+Santa Claus--And now, good people all, take note of Music; see how she
+    sways rough men and brings the good that's in us all to turn them
+    into better paths. King Arthur did quite right to those three sons
+    who would not sing.
+
+    I've brought ye Xmas joys
+    For all good girls and boys.
+    I command ye all to sing
+    In praise of our Lord King;
+    The Prince of Peace and God of Love
+    Who sitteth on the throne above.
+
+    (Exit in balloon-basket upwards, leaving baskets of presents on
+    stage.)
+
+                      (Audience rises and sings)--
+
+
+                            Adeste Fideles.
+
+      O come, all ye faithful,
+      Joyfully triumphant,
+    To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord;
+      Lo! in a manger
+      Sits the King of angels;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.
+
+      Raise, raise, choirs of angels!
+      Songs of loudest triumph,
+    Thro' heavens' high arches be your praises pour'd;
+      Now to our God be,
+      Glory in the highest;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.
+
+      Amen! Lord, we bless Thee,
+      Born for our salvation,
+    O Jesus, forever be Thy Name adored;
+      Word of the Father,
+      Now in flesh appearing;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.

+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

+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 1.F.3.  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 MERCHANTABILITY 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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.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.  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.

+
+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty 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:
+
+     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.

+<p class="indent">This little sketch was prepared very hurriedly
+in order to give scope to the volunteer
+efforts of certain of the younger members of
+the community who had undertaken to provide
+the entertainment for the Christmas celebration of
+1910 of the Peace Dale Congregational Sunday
+School.</p>
+
+<p class="indent">After looking patiently and long for something
+which they could act for the entertainment of
+their fellows, they despaired of finding anything
+they would like.</p>
+
+<p class="indent">In their dilemma they appealed to me, saying
+that their principal desire was to introduce the
+singing of Christmas carols in some way not too
+commonplace.</p>
+
+<p class="indent">The characters were taken by inexperienced
+actors who, nevertheless, presented the masque in
+a very genuine and convincing manner.</p>
+
+<p class="indent">The whole time of action was about thirty-five
+minutes, including the singing of the Christmas
+carols. I was urged to amplify the action, in
+order to somewhat prolong the part played by
+Robin Hood and his men, but, after some effort
+in this direction, I gave it up, as the principal
+merit of the masque seemed to me to be its
+brevity.</p>
+
+<p class="indent">Several friends have urged its preservation
+in print in the hope that it may prove suggestive
+or useful to others in like predicament.</p>

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+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.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

+
+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty 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:
+
+     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 hope of the future_
+
+
+
+
+This little sketch was prepared very hurriedly in order to give scope to
+the volunteer efforts of certain of the younger members of the community
+who had undertaken to provide the entertainment for the Christmas
+celebration of 1910 of the Peace Dale Congregational Sunday School.
+
+After looking patiently and long for something which they could act for
+the entertainment of their fellows, they despaired of finding anything
+they would like.
+
+In their dilemma they appealed to me, saying that their principal desire
+was to introduce the singing of Christmas carols in some way not too
+commonplace.
+
+The characters were taken by inexperienced actors who, nevertheless,
+presented the masque in a very genuine and convincing manner.
+
+The whole time of action was about thirty-five minutes, including the
+singing of the Christmas carols. I was urged to amplify the action, in
+order to somewhat prolong the part played by Robin Hood and his men,
+but, after some effort in this direction, I gave it up, as the principal
+merit of the masque seemed to me to be its brevity.
+
+Several friends have urged its preservation in print in the hope that it
+may prove suggestive or useful to others in like predicament.

+
+
+                     How Robin Hood once was a Wait
+
+
+    (Curtain rising discloses a wood scene. In center a small house.
+    Snow falls. Robin Hood and his merry men advance from left
+    wings, one singing the XIII Century Rondo)--
+
+
+  King Arthur had three sons, that he had;
+  King Arthur had three sons, that he had;
+  He had three sons of yore, and he kicked them out of door
+  Because they could not sing, that he did.
+
+                           Chorus--the same.
+
+                           (Repeat singing.)
+
+
+Robin--Well, lads, ye've fed full this day,
+       So 'tis well to be gay;
+
+                   *       *       *       *       *
+
+       In spite of the weather
+       Let's merry be together.
+
+       Yon house stuffed with babes
+       Deserves a kind deed,
+       But we've nothing to give them,
+       Tho 'tis Christmas, as all are agreed.
+
+    (The Waits enter from right, tuning instruments and show fear of
+    Robin's men, who advance threateningly towards them.)
+
+Robin (hectoring)--And who gave ye leave to break the mighty silence of
+    our wood?
+
+Wait (deprecatingly)--Softly, Kind Master, we be but simple singers come
+    to joy yon lonely widow with songs of Christmas-tide.
+
+Robin--Singers, idle and vain, we'll have ye know 'tis death to enter
+    here without our license.
+
+Waits--We be waits, good sir, and have ever license to sing the birth of
+    Christ our Lord, born this day.
+
+Robin (scornfully)--And what be waits?
+
+Wait (with solemnity)--We wait upon the coming of our Lord, Son of Mary
+    and Heaven's Almighty King. And while we patient wait, we sing.
+
+Robin (appeased)--Waits, that's better, and who gave word of this widow
+    and her dozen brats?
+
+Wait--My fiddler here is cousin to the widow's dead man.
+
+Robin (relenting)--What says't thou, Long John and Watt and Jolly Tuck,
+    how would ye like to join this band of Waits for once and sing like
+    Christians to the widow's brats?
+
+Tuck (deep bass)--Ay, 't would be well for once to use the lore I once
+    knew well. I'll go.
+
+Long John--I'll go.
+
+Watt--I'll go, but I can only buzz.
+
+    (They advance together towards house grouping towards right,
+    leaving house in full view of audience, who see many children at
+    a lighted window, but not one looking out.)
+
+             (They sing after more tuning of instruments)--
+
+
+                          Good King Wenceslas.
+
+                                   1.

+    Good King Wenceslas looked out
+      On the Feast of Stephen,
+    When the snow lay round about,
+      Deep and crisp, and even;
+    Brightly shone the moon that night,
+      Though the frost was cruel,
+    When a poor man came in sight,
+      Gathering winter fuel.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    "Hither, page, and stand by me,
+      If thou know'st, telling,
+    Yonder peasant, who is he?
+      Where and what his dwelling?"
+    "Sire, he lives a good league hence,
+      Underneath the mountain;
+    Right against the forest fence,
+      By Saint Agnes' fountain."
+
+                                   3.
+
+    "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
+      Bring me pine-logs hither;
+    Thou and I will see him dine,
+      When we bear them thither."
+    Page and monarch forth they went,
+      Forth they went together;
+    Through the rude wind's wild lament;
+      And the bitter weather.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    "Sire, the night is darker now,
+      And the wind blows stronger;
+    Fails my heart, I know not how,
+      I can go no longer."
+    Mark my footsteps, my good page
+      Tread thou in them boldly;
+    Thou shalt find the winter's rage
+      Freeze thy blood less coldly.
+
+                                   5.
+
+    In his master's steps he trod,
+      Where the snow lay dinted;
+    Heat was in the very sod
+      Which the saint had printed.
+    Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
+      Wealth or rank possessing,
+    Ye who now will bless the poor,
+      Shall yourselves find blessing.
+
+
+                            The First Noel.
+
+                                   1.
+
+    The first Noel the Angel did say,
+    Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
+    In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
+    On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
+
+                                 Chorus.
+
+        Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
+        Born is the King of Israel.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    They looked up and saw a Star,
+    Shining in the East, beyond them far,
+    And to the earth it gave great light,
+    And so it continued both day and night.
+
+        Noel, etc.
+
+                                   3.
+
+    And by the light of that same Star,
+    Three Wisemen came from country far;
+    To seek for a King was their intent,
+    And to follow the Star wherever it went.
+
+        Noel, etc.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    This Star drew nigh to the north-west,
+    O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
+    And there it did both stop and stay,
+    Right over the place where Jesus lay.
+
+        Noel, etc.
+
+                                   5.
+
+    Then entered in those Wisemen three,
+    Full reverently upon their knee,
+    And offered there, in His Presence,
+    Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
+
+        Noel, etc.
+
+                                   6.
+
+    Then let us all with one accord,
+    Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
+    That hath made Heaven and earth of nought,
+    And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
+
+                                 Noel, etc.
+
+
+                     God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen.
+
+                          (Old English Noel.)
+
+                                   1.
+
+    God rest you, merry gentlemen,
+      Let nothing you dismay,
+    Remember Christ our Saviour
+      Was born on Christmas Day,
+    To save us all from Satan's power,
+      When we were gone astray;
+
+    Chorus
+
+        O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
+        O tidings of comfort and joy.
+
+                                   2.
+
+    In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
+      This blessed Babe was born,
+    And laid within a manger,
+      Upon this blessed morn;
+    The which His Mother, Mary,
+      Did nothing take in scorn.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+                                   3.
+
+    From God our Heavenly Father,
+      A blessed Angel came;
+    And unto certain Shepherds
+      Brought tidings of the same:
+    How that in Bethlehem was born
+      The Son of God by Name.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+                                   4.
+
+    Now to the Lord sing praises,
+      All you within this place,
+    And with true love and brotherhood
+      Each other now embrace;
+    This holy tide of Christmas
+      All other doth deface.
+
+        O tidings, etc.
+
+    (At second carol, the children come out with half-eaten apples
+    and oaten cake, to stand listening to the singing. The children
+    mingle with the waits and offer them bites of their apples, etc.
+    The widow comes out with a big steaming pot of mead to thank the
+    waits. Offers pot. Robin's men each try to take first drink.
+    Robin stops quarrel and hands it to Tuck, who drinks hastily,
+    and so burns his mouth.)
+
+Widow--Oh! kind gentlemen, bless your hearts for this. It's many a year
+    since I heard the sound of a Christmas carol. It does my old heart
+    good. Bless ye, bless ye.
+
+    (Descries the fiddler cousin, falls on his shoulder, and makes
+    talk of his family--_sotto voce_.)
+
+                (Robin's men draw off and sing again)--
+
+                King Arthur had three sons, that he had.
+
+    (A basket lowered from above with Santa Claus in it begins to
+    appear to the audience. No one on stage sees it. Santa Claus
+    reaches out and taps Robin on the head, smartly, with a bit of
+    rope. Knocks off his hat.)
+
+Robin (terrified)--Saints preserve us. Who smote me?
+
+          (Sees balloon. Points to it. All cry out in alarm.)
+
+Robin--An air-man; a Miracle! The day of miracles!
+
+Santa Claus (intones high tenor voice)--Fear not, except for thy sins. I
+    came to hear; what music was it ye sang?--Nay be not
+    affrighted--I'll e'en stand among ye. So shall ye see I bode no ill.
+
+                        (Alights from his car.)
+
+Robin--Canst fly? How else cam'st hither? Truly a Miracle art thou.
+
+Santa Claus--No Miracle am I, but the dear Christ's Almoner; who comes
+    this night and every Christmas-tide bearing gifts for all good
+    children and a good gift for all, even Jesus' love and Peace on
+    Earth, good will toward men. But this is a miracle, in truth, for
+    here be Waits joined hands with Robin Hood in songs of praise for
+    Christus' birth.
+
+    Praise God for this and all good deeds, and by such shall these wild
+    hearts (turns to Robin's men) learn gentle love for all mankind.
+
+       (Exit.  Robin leads his men, exit to right. Waits follow.)
+
+Santa Claus--And now, good people all, take note of Music; see how she
+    sways rough men and brings the good that's in us all to turn them
+    into better paths. King Arthur did quite right to those three sons
+    who would not sing.
+
+    I've brought ye Xmas joys
+    For all good girls and boys.
+    I command ye all to sing
+    In praise of our Lord King;
+    The Prince of Peace and God of Love
+    Who sitteth on the throne above.
+
+    (Exit in balloon-basket upwards, leaving baskets of presents on
+    stage.)
+
+                      (Audience rises and sings)--
+
+
+                            Adeste Fideles.
+
+      O come, all ye faithful,
+      Joyfully triumphant,
+    To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord;
+      Lo! in a manger
+      Sits the King of angels;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.
+
+      Raise, raise, choirs of angels!
+      Songs of loudest triumph,
+    Thro' heavens' high arches be your praises pour'd;
+      Now to our God be,
+      Glory in the highest;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.
+
+      Amen! Lord, we bless Thee,
+      Born for our salvation,
+    O Jesus, forever be Thy Name adored;
+      Word of the Father,
+      Now in flesh appearing;
+
+    :|| O come, let us adore Him, ||:
+            Christ the Lord.

+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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:  www.gutenberg.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty 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:
+
+     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.
