PART I.

SCENE I.
--_A woody and mountainous district near Mount
Ararat. --Time, midnight_.

_Enter_ ANAH _and_ AHOLIBAMAH. [138]

_Anah_. OUR father sleeps: it is the hour when they
Who love us are accustomed to descend
Through the deep clouds o'er rocky Ararat:--
How my heart beats!

_Aho. _ Let us proceed upon
Our invocation.

_Anah_. But the stars are hidden.
I tremble.

_Aho. _ So do I, but not with fear
Of aught save their delay.

_Anah_. My sister, though
I love Azaziel more than----oh, too much!
What was I going to say? my heart grows impious.
