Proclaim throughout the bounds of Antioch A feast, and solemn sacrifice to Jove. Whoso disdains to join the sacred rites, Shall feel our wrath in chastisement, or death. And this, Septimius, take you in charge. 3. Air ▼VALENS▲ Go, my faithful soldier, go Let the fragrant incense rise, To Jove, great ruler of the skies. 4. CHORUS OF HEATHENS And draw a blessing down, On his imperial crown, Who rules the world below. 5. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Vouchsafe, dread Sir, a gracious ear To my request. Let not thy sentence doom To racks and flames, all, all, whose scrup'lous minds Will not permit them, or, to bend the knee To gods they know not, or, in wanton mood, To celebrate the day with Roman rites. ▼VALENS▲ Art thou a Roman, and yet dar'st defend A sect, rebellious to the gods and Rome? ▼DIDYMUS▲ Many there are in Antioch, who disdain An idol-offering, yet are friends to Cæsar. ▼VALENS▲ It cannot be. They are not Cæsar's friends, Who own not Cæsar's gods. I'll hear no more. 6. Air ▼VALENS▲ Racks, gibbets, sword and fire, Shall speak my vengeful ire, Against the stubborn knee. Nor gushing tears, Nor ardent pray'rs, Shall shake our firm decree. Racks, gibbets… （Exit Valens） 7. CHORUS OF HEATHENS For ever thus stands fix'd the doom, Of rebels to the gods and Rome, While sweeter than the trumpet's sound, Their groans and cries are heard around. Scene 2 8. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Most cruel edict! Sure, thy generous soul, Septimius, abhors the dreadful task Of persecution. Ought we not to leave The free-born mind of man still ever free? Since vain is the attempt to force belief With the severest instrument of death? 9. Air ▼DIDYMUS▲ The raptur'd soul defies the sword, Secure of virtue's claim, And trusting Heav'n's unerring word, Enjoys the circling flame. No engine can a tyrant find, To storm the truth-supported mind. The raptur'd soul… 10. Recitative ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ I know thy virtues, and ask not thy faith; Enjoy it as you will, my Didymus. Though not a Christian, for I worship still The gods my fathers worship'd, yet I own, Something within declares for acts of mercy. But Antioch's President must be obey'd; Such is the Roman discipline, while we Can only pity, whom we dare not spare. 11. Air ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Descend, kind pity, heav'nly guest, Descend, and fill each human breast With sympathizing woe. That liberty, and peace of mind, May sweetly harmonize mankind, And bless the world below. Descend… Scene 3 （Theodora, with the Christians） 12. Recitative ▼THEODORA▲ Though hard, my friends, yet wholesome are the truths, Taught in affliction's school, whence the pure soul Rises refin'd, and soars above the world. 13. Air ▼THEODORA▲ Fond, flatt'ring world, adieu! Thy gaily-smiling pow'r, Empty treasures, Fleeting pleasures, Ne'er shall tempt or charm me more. Faith inviting, Hope delighting, Nobler joys we now pursue. 14. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ O bright example of all goodness! How easy seems affliction's heavy load, While thus instructed, and companion'd thus, As 'twere with Heav'n conversing, we look down On the vain pomp of proud prosperity. 15. Air ▼IRENE▲ Bane of virtue, nurse of passions, Soother of vile inclinations, Such is, prosperity, thy name. True happiness is only found, Where grace and truth and love abound, And pure religion feeds the flame. Bane of virtue… 16. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS Come, mighty Father, mighty Lord, With love our souls inspire, While grace and truth flow from thy word, And feed the holy fire. Scene 4 （Enter Messenger） 17. Recitative ▼MESSENGER▲ Fly, fly, my brethren, heathen rage pursues us swift. Arm'd with the terrors of insulting death. ▼IRENE▲ Ah! Whither should we fly, or fly from whom? The Lord is still the same, today, for ever, And his protection here, and everywhere. Though gath'ring round our destin'd heads The storm now thickens, and looks big with fate, Still shall thy servants wait on Thee, O Lord, And in thy saving mercy put their trust. 18. Air ▼IRENE▲ As with rosy steps the morn, Advancing, drives the shades of night, So from virtuous toil well-borne, Raise Thou our hopes of endless light. Triumphant saviour, Lord of day, Thou art the life, the light, the way! As with rosy steps… 19. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS All pow'r in Heav'n above or earth beneath Belongs to Thee alone, Thou Everlasting One, Mighty to save in perils, storm and death. Scene 5 （Enter Septimius） 20. Recitative ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Mistaken wretches! Why thus blind to fate, Do ye in private oratories dare Oppose the President's decree, and scorn With native rites to celebrate the day Sacred to Cæsar and protecting Jove? 21. Air ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Dread the fruits of Christian folly, And this stubborn melancholy Fond of life and liberty. Chains and dungeons ye are wooing, And the storm of death pursuing; Rebels to the known decree. Dread the fruits… 22. Recitative ▼THEODORA▲ Deluded mortal! Call it not rebellion, That thus we persevere in spirit and truth, To worship God it is his dread command, His whom we cannot, dare not, disobey, Though death be our reward. ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Death is not yet thy doom But worse than death to such a virtuous mind, Which Didymus wants eloquence to praise. Lady, these guards are order'd to convey you To the vile place, a prostitute, to whom Valens thinks proper to devote your charms. 23. Accompagnato ▼THEODORA▲ Oh, worse than death indeed! Lead me, ye guards, Lead me, or to the rack, or to the flames, I'll thank your gracious mercy. 24. Air ▼THEODORA▲ Angels, ever bright and fair, Take, oh take me to your care; Speed to your own courts my flight, Clad in robes of virgin white. Angels… （Exit Theodora with Septimius） Scene 6 （Enter Didymus） 25. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Unhappy, happy crew! Why stand ye thus, Wild with amazement? Say, where is my love, My kind instructor in fair virtue's path, My life, my Theodora? Has the tyrant Seiz'd on his guiltless prey? ▼IRENE▲ Alas! She's gone. Too late thou cam'st to save, if in thy pow'r To save, the fairest, noblest, best of women. A Roman soldier led her trembling hence To the vile place, where Venus keeps her court. Yet on his brow reluctance seem'd to sit, And helpless pity bade us wait our doom. 26. Air ▼DIDYMUS▲ Kind Heav'n, if virtue be thy care, With courage fire me, Or art inspire me, To free the captive fair. On the wings of the wind will I fly, With this princess to live, or this Christian to die. Kind Heav'n… （Exit Didymus） Scene 7 27. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ O love, how great thy pow'r! But greater still, When virtue prompts the steady mind to prove Its native strength in deeds of highest honour. 28. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS Go, gen'rous, pious youth, May all the pow'rs above Reward thy virtuous love, Thy constancy and truth, With Theodora's charms, Free from these dire alarms; Or crown you with the blest, In glory, peace and rest. ACT TWO Scene 1 （Valens, and Chorus of Heathens） 29. Recitative ▼VALENS▲ Ye men of Antioch, with solemn pomp, Renew the grateful sacrifice to Jove; And while your songs ascend the vaulted skies, Pour on the smoking altars floods of wine, In honour of the smiling deities, Fair Flora, and the Cyprian queen. 30. CHORUS OF HEATHENS Queen of summer, queen of love And thou, cloud-compelling Jove, Grant a long and happy reign, To great Cæsar, king of men. 31. Air ▼VALENS▲ Wide spread his name, And make his glory Of endless fame The lasting story. 32. Recitative ▼VALENS▲ Return, Septimius, to the stubborn maid, And learn her final resolution. If ere the sun with prone career has reach'd The western isles, she deigns an offering To the great gods, who subjected the world To conqu'ring Rome, she shall be free; if not, The meanest of my guards with lustful joy Shall triumph o'er her boasted chastity. 33. CHORUS OF HEATHENS Venus laughing from the skies, Will applaud her votaries. While seizing the treasure We revel in pleasure, Revenge sweet love supplies. Scene 2 （Theodora, in her Place of Confinement） 34. Symphony 35. Recitative ▼THEODORA▲ O thou bright sun! How sweet thy rays To health, and liberty! But here, alas, They swell the agonizing thought of shame, And pierce my soul with sorrows yet unknown. 36. Air ▼THEODORA▲ With darkness deep, as is my woe, Hide me, ye shades of night; Your thickest veil around me throw, Conceal'd from human sight. Or come thou, death, thy victim save, Kindly embosom'd in the grave. 37. Symphony 38. Recitative ▼THEODORA▲ But why art thou disquieted, my soul? Hark! Heav'n invites thee in sweet rapt'rous strains, To join the ever-singing, ever-loving choir Of saints and angels in the courts above. 39. Air ▼THEODORA▲ Oh, that I on wings could rise, Swiftly sailing through the skies, As skims the silver dove! That I might rest, For ever blest, With harmony and love. Oh, that I on wings… Scene 3 （Didymus and Septimius） 40. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Long have I known thy friendly social soul, Septimius, oft experienc'd in the camp And perilous scenes of war, when side by side We fought, and brav'd the dangers of the field, Dependant on each other's arm. With freedom then, I will disclose my mind. I am a Christian, And she, who by Heaven's influential grace With pure religious sentiments inspir'd My soul, with virtuous love inflam'd my heart, Ev'n she, who, shame to all humanity, Is now condemn'd to public lust. ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ No more! The shame reflects too much upon thy friend, The mean, though duteous instrument of pow'r, Knowing her virtues only, not thy love. 41. Air ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Though the honours that Flora and Venus receive From the Romans, this Christian refuses to give, Yet nor Venus, nor Flora, delight in the woe That disfigures their fairest resemblance below. 42. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Oh, save her then, or give me pow'r to save, By free admission to th'emprison'd maid! ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ My guards, not less asham'd of their vile office, Will second your intent, and pleasure me. ▼DIDYMUS▲ I will reward them with a bounteous heart, And you, my friend, with all that Heav'n can give To the sincerity of Pray'r. 43. Air ▼DIDYMUS▲ Deeds of kindness to display, Pity suing, Mercy wooing, Who the call can disobey? But the opportune redress Of virtuous beauty in distress, Earth will praise and Heav'n repay. Deeds of kindness… Scene 4 （Irene, with the Christians） 44. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ The clouds begin to veil the hemisphere, And heavily bring on the night, the last Perhaps to us. Oh, that it were the last To Theodora, ere she fall a prey To unexampled lust and cruelty. 45. Air ▼IRENE▲ Defend her, Heav'n! Let angels spread Their viewless tents around her bed. Keep her from vile assaults secure, Still ever calm, and ever pure. Defend her… Scene 5 （Theodora's Place of Confinement. Didymus at a distance, the vizor of his helmet clos'd） 46. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ Or lull'd with grief, or rapt her soul to Heav'n In innocence of thought, entranc'd she lies; Her beauty shining still, like Cynthia, Rising in clouded majesty. 47. Air ▼DIDYMUS▲ （approaching her） Sweet rose and lily, flow'ry form, Take me your faithful guard, To shield you from bleak wind and storm A smile be my reward. 48. Recitative ▼THEODORA▲ （starting） Oh, save me, Heav'n, in this my perilous hour! ▼DIDYMUS▲ Start not, much injur'd princess, I come not As one, this place might give you cause to dread; But your deliverer, sent by just Heav'n, To save the world's unrivall'd ornament Of virtue, faith, and every Christian grace; And that dear ornament to Theodora, Her angel-purity. If you vouchsafe, But to change habit with your Didymus （discovering himself） ▼THEODORA▲ Excellent youth! I know thy courage, virtue and thy love; And never can consent they should destroy Their author. This becomes not Theodora, But the blind enemies of truth. Oh no, It must not be! Yet Didymus can give A boon, will make me happy, nor himself Endanger. ▼DIDYMUS▲ How, or what? My soul with transport Listens to the request. 49. Air ▼THEODORA▲ The pilgrim's home, the sick man's health, The captive's ransom, poor man's wealth, From thee I would receive. These, and a thousand treasures more, That gentle death has now in store, Thy hand and sword can give. 50. Accompagnato ▼DIDYMUS▲ Forbid it, Heav'n! Shall I destroy the life I came to save? Shall I in Theodora's blood embrue My guilty hands, and give her death, who taught Me first to live? Or say, what right have I To take, what just reflection bids confess Not at your own disposal? Think it too, No less a crime, if, thus inflexible, Your safety you refuse. Time forbids more, Strait then resolve to gain your liberty, Preserve your honour, and secure your life. ▼THEODORA▲ Ah! What is liberty or life to me, That Didymus must purchase with his own? ▼DIDYMUS▲ Fear not for me; the pow' r that led me hither Will guard me hence. If not, His will be done! ▼THEODORA▲ Yes, kind deliverer, I will trust that pow'r To hear my pray'r for thee, so lately heard For Theodora; who had ne'er exposed Her friend to shun a danger that concern'd Only her Life. Farewell, thou generous youth! ▼DIDYMUS▲ Farewell, thou mirror of the virgin state! 51. Duet ▼THEODORA▲ To thee, thou glorious son of worth, Be life and safety giv'n. ▼DIDYMUS▲ To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, Be every blessing giv'n. ▼BOTH▲ I hope again to meet on earth, But sure shall meet in Heav'n. Scene 6 （Irene, with the Christians） 52. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ Tis night, but night's sweet blessing is denied To grief like ours. How can we think of sleep, While Theodora wakes to misery, And threat'ning death hangs hovering o'er our heads? Be pray'r our refuge, pray'r to Him, who rais'd, And still can raise, the dead to life and joy. 53. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS He saw the lovely youth, death's early prey, Alas, too early snatch'd away! He heard his mother's fun'ral cries Rise, youth, He said. The youth begins to rise. Lowly the matron bow'd, and bore away the prize. ACT THREE Scene 1 （Irene, with the Christians） 54. Air ▼IRENE▲ Lord, to Thee each night and day, Strong in hope, we sing and pray. Though convulsive rocks the ground, And thy thunders roll around, Still to Thee, each night and day, We sing and pray. Lord, to Thee… Scene 2 （Enter Theodora, in the habit of Didymus） 55. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ But see, the good, the virtuous Didymus! Wakeful as Philomel, with throbbing heart, He comes to join with us in pray'r for Theodora. ▼THEODORA▲ （discovering herself） No, Heav'n has heard your pray'rs for Theodora. Behold her safe! Oh, that as free and safe Were Didymus, my kind deliverer! But let this habit speak the rest. 56. Air ▼THEODORA▲ When sunk in anguish and despair, To Heav'n I cried, Heav'n heard my pray'r, And bade a tender father's care The gen'rous youth employ. The gen'rous youth obey'd and came, All wrapt in love's divinest flame, To save a wretched virgin's fame, And turn her grief to joy. 57. Solo and Chorus ▼CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS▲ Blest be the hand, and blest the pow'r, That in this dark and dang'rous hour, Sav'd thee from cruel strife. ▼THEODORA AND CHRISTIANS▲ Lord, favour still the kind intent, And bless thy gracious instrument With liberty and life. Scene 3 （Enter Messenger） 58. Recitative ▼MESSENGER▲ Undaunted in the court stands Didymus, Virtuously proud of rescued innocence. But vain to save the gen'rous hero's life Are all entreaties, ev'n from Romans vain. And, high-enrag'd, the President protests, Should he regain the fugitive, no more To try her with the fear of infamy, But with the terrors of a cruel death. ▼IRENE▲ Ah, Theodora, whence this sudden change, From grief's pale looks, to looks of redd'ning joy? ▼THEODORA▲ O my Irene, Heav'n is kind, And Valens too is kind, to give me pow'r To execute in turn my gratitude, While safe my honour. Stay me not, dear friend, Only assist me with a proper dress, That I may ransom the too gen'rous youth. 59. Duet ▼IRENE▲ Whither, Princess, do you fly, Sure to suffer, sure to die? ▼THEODORA▲ No, no, Irene, no, To life and joy I go. ▼IRENE▲ Vain Attempt, oh stay, oh stay! ▼THEODORA▲ Duty calls, I must obey. （Exit Theodora） 60. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ She's gone, disdaining liberty and life, And ev'ry honour this frail life can give. Devotion bids aspire to nobler things, To boundless love, and joys ineffable And such her expectation from kind Heav'n. 61. Air ▼IRENE▲ New scenes of joy come crowding on While sorrow fleets away, Like mists before the rising sun That gives a glorious day. Scene 4 （Valens, Didymus, Septimius, and Chorus of Heathens） 62. Recitative ▼VALENS▲ Is it a Christian virtue then, To rescue, from the hands of justice, one Condemn'd by my authority? ▼DIDYMUS▲ Such my religion, it condemns all crimes, None more than disobedience to just pow'r. And had your sentence doom'd her, but to death, I then might have deplor'd your cruelty, And not attempted to defeat it. Yet, I own no crime, unless it be a crime To've hindered you from perpetrating that Which would have made you odious to mankind, At least the fairest half. ▼VALENS▲ Aye, aye, fond man It was the charms of beauty, not of virtue, That tempted you to save her. Take him hence, And lead him to repentance, or to death. Scene 5 （Enter Theodora） ▼THEODORA▲ Be that my doom. You may inflict it here, With legal justice, there 'tis cruelty. If blood your angry laws require, behold, The principal is come to pay the debt And welcome sure to Romans the exchange, A warlike hero for an helpless maid. ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Dwells there such virtuous courage in the sex? Preserve them, O ye gods, preserve them both. Ye Romans, join in the request, if e'er Lucretia's memory was dear to you, Or this your leader's valour and renown. 63. Air ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ From virtue springs each gen'rous deed That claims our grateful pray'r. Let justice for the hero plead, And pity save the fair. From virtue springs… ▼VALENS▲ Cease, ye slaves, your fruitless pray'r! The pow'rs below No pity know, For the brave, or for the fair. 64. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ （to Septimius） Tis kind, my friends, but kinder still If for this daughter of Antiochus, In mind, as noble as her birth, your pray'rs Prevail, that Didymus alone shall die. （to Theodora） Had I as many lives as virtues thou, Freely for thee I would resign them all. ▼THEODORA▲ Oppose not, Didymus, my just desires; For know, that 'twas dishonour I declin'd, Not death, most welcome now, if Didymus Were safe, whose only crime was my escape. 65. CHORUS OF HEATHENS How strange their ends, And yet how glorious, Where each contends, To fall victorious, Where virtue its own innocence denies, And for the vanquish'd the glad victor dies! 66. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ （to Valens） On me your frowns, your utmost rage exert, On me, your prisoner in chains. ▼THEODORA▲ These chains Are due to me, and death to me alone. ▼VALENS▲ Are ye then judges for yourselves? Not so our laws are to be trifled with. If both plead guilty, 'tis but equity That both should suffer. 67. Air ▼VALENS▲ Ye ministers of justice, lead them hence, I cannot, will not bear such insolence. And as our gods they honour, or despise, Fall they their supplicants, or sacrifice. （Exit Valens） Scene 6 68. Recitative ▼DIDYMUS▲ And must such beauty suffer? ▼THEODORA▲ Such useful valour be destroy'd? ▼SEPTIMIUS▲ Destroy'd, alas, by an unhappy constancy! ▼DIDYMUS▲ Yet deem us not unhappy, gentle friend, Nor rash; for life we neither hate, nor scorn, But think it a cheap purchase for the prize Reserv'd in Heav'n for purity and faith. 69. Air and Duet ▼DIDYMUS▲ Streams of pleasure ever flowing, Fruits ambrosial ever growing, Golden thrones, Starry crowns, Are the triumphs of the blest. When from life's dull labour free, Clad with immortality, They enjoy a lasting rest. ▼THEODORA, DIDYMUS▲ Thither let our hearts aspire Objects pure of pure desire, Still increasing, Ever pleasing, Wake the song, and tune the lyre Of the blissful holy choir. （Exeunt） Scene 7 （Irene, with the Christians） 70. Recitative ▼IRENE▲ Ere this, their doom is past and they are gone To prove that love is stronger far than death. 71. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS O love divine, thou source of fame, Of glory, and all joy! Let equal fire our souls inflame, And equal zeal employ, That we the glorious spring may know, Whose streams appear'd so bright below. ACT ONE 1. Overture Scene 1 (Valens, Didymus, Septimius, Chorus of Heathens) 2. Recitative VALENS Tis Dioclesian's natal day. Proclaim throughout the bounds of Antioch A feast, and solemn sacrifice to Jove. Whoso disdains to join the sacred rites, Shall feel our wrath in chastisement, or death. And this, Septimius, take you in charge. 3. Air VALENS Go, my faithful soldier, go Let the fragrant incense rise, To Jove, great ruler of the skies. 4. CHORUS OF HEATHENS And draw a blessing down, On his imperial crown, Who rules the world below. 5. Recitative DIDYMUS Vouchsafe, dread Sir, a gracious ear To my request. Let not thy sentence doom To racks and flames, all, all, whose scrup'lous minds Will not permit them, or, to bend the knee To gods they know not, or, in wanton mood, To celebrate the day with Roman rites. VALENS Art thou a Roman, and yet dar'st defend A sect, rebellious to the gods and Rome? DIDYMUS Many there are in Antioch, who disdain An idol-offering, yet are friends to Cæsar. VALENS It cannot be. They are not Cæsar's friends, Who own not Cæsar's gods. I'll hear no more. 6. Air VALENS Racks, gibbets, sword and fire, Shall speak my vengeful ire, Against the stubborn knee. Nor gushing tears, Nor ardent pray'rs, Shall shake our firm decree. Racks, gibbets… (Exit Valens) 7. CHORUS OF HEATHENS For ever thus stands fix'd the doom, Of rebels to the gods and Rome, While sweeter than the trumpet's sound, Their groans and cries are heard around. Scene 2 8. Recitative DIDYMUS Most cruel edict! Sure, thy generous soul, Septimius, abhors the dreadful task Of persecution. Ought we not to leave The free-born mind of man still ever free? Since vain is the attempt to force belief With the severest instrument of death? 9. Air DIDYMUS The raptur'd soul defies the sword, Secure of virtue's claim, And trusting Heav'n's unerring word, Enjoys the circling flame. No engine can a tyrant find, To storm the truth-supported mind. The raptur'd soul… 10. Recitative SEPTIMIUS I know thy virtues, and ask not thy faith; Enjoy it as you will, my Didymus. Though not a Christian, for I worship still The gods my fathers worship'd, yet I own, Something within declares for acts of mercy. But Antioch's President must be obey'd; Such is the Roman discipline, while we Can only pity, whom we dare not spare. 11. Air SEPTIMIUS Descend, kind pity, heav'nly guest, Descend, and fill each human breast With sympathizing woe. That liberty, and peace of mind, May sweetly harmonize mankind, And bless the world below. Descend… Scene 3 (Theodora, with the Christians) 12. Recitative THEODORA Though hard, my friends, yet wholesome are the truths, Taught in affliction's school, whence the pure soul Rises refin'd, and soars above the world. 13. Air THEODORA Fond, flatt'ring world, adieu! Thy gaily-smiling pow'r, Empty treasures, Fleeting pleasures, Ne'er shall tempt or charm me more. Faith inviting, Hope delighting, Nobler joys we now pursue. 14. Recitative IRENE O bright example of all goodness! How easy seems affliction's heavy load, While thus instructed, and companion'd thus, As 'twere with Heav'n conversing, we look down On the vain pomp of proud prosperity. 15. Air IRENE Bane of virtue, nurse of passions, Soother of vile inclinations, Such is, prosperity, thy name. True happiness is only found, Where grace and truth and love abound, And pure religion feeds the flame. Bane of virtue… 16. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS Come, mighty Father, mighty Lord, With love our souls inspire, While grace and truth flow from thy word, And feed the holy fire. Scene 4 (Enter Messenger) 17. Recitative MESSENGER Fly, fly, my brethren, heathen rage pursues us swift. Arm'd with the terrors of insulting death. IRENE Ah! Whither should we fly, or fly from whom? The Lord is still the same, today, for ever, And his protection here, and everywhere. Though gath'ring round our destin'd heads The storm now thickens, and looks big with fate, Still shall thy servants wait on Thee, O Lord, And in thy saving mercy put their trust. 18. Air IRENE As with rosy steps the morn, Advancing, drives the shades of night, So from virtuous toil well-borne, Raise Thou our hopes of endless light. Triumphant saviour, Lord of day, Thou art the life, the light, the way! As with rosy steps… 19. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS All pow'r in Heav'n above or earth beneath Belongs to Thee alone, Thou Everlasting One, Mighty to save in perils, storm and death. Scene 5 (Enter Septimius) 20. Recitative SEPTIMIUS Mistaken wretches! Why thus blind to fate, Do ye in private oratories dare Oppose the President's decree, and scorn With native rites to celebrate the day Sacred to Cæsar and protecting Jove? 21. Air SEPTIMIUS Dread the fruits of Christian folly, And this stubborn melancholy Fond of life and liberty. Chains and dungeons ye are wooing, And the storm of death pursuing; Rebels to the known decree. Dread the fruits… 22. Recitative THEODORA Deluded mortal! Call it not rebellion, That thus we persevere in spirit and truth, To worship God it is his dread command, His whom we cannot, dare not, disobey, Though death be our reward. SEPTIMIUS Death is not yet thy doom But worse than death to such a virtuous mind, Which Didymus wants eloquence to praise. Lady, these guards are order'd to convey you To the vile place, a prostitute, to whom Valens thinks proper to devote your charms. 23. Accompagnato THEODORA Oh, worse than death indeed! Lead me, ye guards, Lead me, or to the rack, or to the flames, I'll thank your gracious mercy. 24. Air THEODORA Angels, ever bright and fair, Take, oh take me to your care; Speed to your own courts my flight, Clad in robes of virgin white. Angels… (Exit Theodora with Septimius) Scene 6 (Enter Didymus) 25. Recitative DIDYMUS Unhappy, happy crew! Why stand ye thus, Wild with amazement? Say, where is my love, My kind instructor in fair virtue's path, My life, my Theodora? Has the tyrant Seiz'd on his guiltless prey? IRENE Alas! She's gone. Too late thou cam'st to save, if in thy pow'r To save, the fairest, noblest, best of women. A Roman soldier led her trembling hence To the vile place, where Venus keeps her court. Yet on his brow reluctance seem'd to sit, And helpless pity bade us wait our doom. 26. Air DIDYMUS Kind Heav'n, if virtue be thy care, With courage fire me, Or art inspire me, To free the captive fair. On the wings of the wind will I fly, With this princess to live, or this Christian to die. Kind Heav'n… (Exit Didymus) Scene 7 27. Recitative IRENE O love, how great thy pow'r! But greater still, When virtue prompts the steady mind to prove Its native strength in deeds of highest honour. 28. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS Go, gen'rous, pious youth, May all the pow'rs above Reward thy virtuous love, Thy constancy and truth, With Theodora's charms, Free from these dire alarms; Or crown you with the blest, In glory, peace and rest. ACT TWO Scene 1 (Valens, and Chorus of Heathens) 29. Recitative VALENS Ye men of Antioch, with solemn pomp, Renew the grateful sacrifice to Jove; And while your songs ascend the vaulted skies, Pour on the smoking altars floods of wine, In honour of the smiling deities, Fair Flora, and the Cyprian queen. 30. CHORUS OF HEATHENS Queen of summer, queen of love And thou, cloud-compelling Jove, Grant a long and happy reign, To great Cæsar, king of men. 31. Air VALENS Wide spread his name, And make his glory Of endless fame The lasting story. 32. Recitative VALENS Return, Septimius, to the stubborn maid, And learn her final resolution. If ere the sun with prone career has reach'd The western isles, she deigns an offering To the great gods, who subjected the world To conqu'ring Rome, she shall be free; if not, The meanest of my guards with lustful joy Shall triumph o'er her boasted chastity. 33. CHORUS OF HEATHENS Venus laughing from the skies, Will applaud her votaries. While seizing the treasure We revel in pleasure, Revenge sweet love supplies. Scene 2 (Theodora, in her Place of Confinement) 34. Symphony 35. Recitative THEODORA O thou bright sun! How sweet thy rays To health, and liberty! But here, alas, They swell the agonizing thought of shame, And pierce my soul with sorrows yet unknown. 36. Air THEODORA With darkness deep, as is my woe, Hide me, ye shades of night; Your thickest veil around me throw, Conceal'd from human sight. Or come thou, death, thy victim save, Kindly embosom'd in the grave. 37. Symphony 38. Recitative THEODORA But why art thou disquieted, my soul? Hark! Heav'n invites thee in sweet rapt'rous strains, To join the ever-singing, ever-loving choir Of saints and angels in the courts above. 39. Air THEODORA Oh, that I on wings could rise, Swiftly sailing through the skies, As skims the silver dove! That I might rest, For ever blest, With harmony and love. Oh, that I on wings… Scene 3 (Didymus and Septimius) 40. Recitative DIDYMUS Long have I known thy friendly social soul, Septimius, oft experienc'd in the camp And perilous scenes of war, when side by side We fought, and brav'd the dangers of the field, Dependant on each other's arm. With freedom then, I will disclose my mind. I am a Christian, And she, who by Heaven's influential grace With pure religious sentiments inspir'd My soul, with virtuous love inflam'd my heart, Ev'n she, who, shame to all humanity, Is now condemn'd to public lust. SEPTIMIUS No more! The shame reflects too much upon thy friend, The mean, though duteous instrument of pow'r, Knowing her virtues only, not thy love. 41. Air SEPTIMIUS Though the honours that Flora and Venus receive From the Romans, this Christian refuses to give, Yet nor Venus, nor Flora, delight in the woe That disfigures their fairest resemblance below. 42. Recitative DIDYMUS Oh, save her then, or give me pow'r to save, By free admission to th'emprison'd maid! SEPTIMIUS My guards, not less asham'd of their vile office, Will second your intent, and pleasure me. DIDYMUS I will reward them with a bounteous heart, And you, my friend, with all that Heav'n can give To the sincerity of Pray'r. 43. Air DIDYMUS Deeds of kindness to display, Pity suing, Mercy wooing, Who the call can disobey? But the opportune redress Of virtuous beauty in distress, Earth will praise and Heav'n repay. Deeds of kindness… Scene 4 (Irene, with the Christians) 44. Recitative IRENE The clouds begin to veil the hemisphere, And heavily bring on the night, the last Perhaps to us. Oh, that it were the last To Theodora, ere she fall a prey To unexampled lust and cruelty. 45. Air IRENE Defend her, Heav'n! Let angels spread Their viewless tents around her bed. Keep her from vile assaults secure, Still ever calm, and ever pure. Defend her… Scene 5 (Theodora's Place of Confinement. Didymus at a distance, the vizor of his helmet clos'd) 46. Recitative DIDYMUS Or lull'd with grief, or rapt her soul to Heav'n In innocence of thought, entranc'd she lies; Her beauty shining still, like Cynthia, Rising in clouded majesty. 47. Air DIDYMUS (approaching her) Sweet rose and lily, flow'ry form, Take me your faithful guard, To shield you from bleak wind and storm A smile be my reward. 48. Recitative THEODORA (starting) Oh, save me, Heav'n, in this my perilous hour! DIDYMUS Start not, much injur'd princess, I come not As one, this place might give you cause to dread; But your deliverer, sent by just Heav'n, To save the world's unrivall'd ornament Of virtue, faith, and every Christian grace; And that dear ornament to Theodora, Her angel-purity. If you vouchsafe, But to change habit with your Didymus (discovering himself). THEODORA Excellent youth! I know thy courage, virtue and thy love; And never can consent they should destroy Their author. This becomes not Theodora, But the blind enemies of truth. Oh no, It must not be! Yet Didymus can give A boon, will make me happy, nor himself Endanger. DIDYMUS How, or what? My soul with transport Listens to the request. 49. Air THEODORA The pilgrim's home, the sick man's health, The captive's ransom, poor man's wealth, From thee I would receive. These, and a thousand treasures more, That gentle death has now in store, Thy hand and sword can give. 50. Accompagnato DIDYMUS Forbid it, Heav'n! Shall I destroy the life I came to save? Shall I in Theodora's blood embrue My guilty hands, and give her death, who taught Me first to live? Or say, what right have I To take, what just reflection bids confess Not at your own disposal? Think it too, No less a crime, if, thus inflexible, Your safety you refuse. Time forbids more, Strait then resolve to gain your liberty, Preserve your honour, and secure your life. THEODORA Ah! What is liberty or life to me, That Didymus must purchase with his own? DIDYMUS Fear not for me; the pow' r that led me hither Will guard me hence. If not, His will be done! THEODORA Yes, kind deliverer, I will trust that pow'r To hear my pray'r for thee, so lately heard For Theodora; who had ne'er exposed Her friend to shun a danger that concern'd Only her Life. Farewell, thou generous youth! DIDYMUS Farewell, thou mirror of the virgin state! 51. Duet THEODORA To thee, thou glorious son of worth, Be life and safety giv'n. DIDYMUS To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, Be every blessing giv'n. BOTH I hope again to meet on earth, But sure shall meet in Heav'n. Scene 6 (Irene, with the Christians) 52. Recitative IRENE Tis night, but night's sweet blessing is denied To grief like ours. How can we think of sleep, While Theodora wakes to misery, And threat'ning death hangs hovering o'er our heads? Be pray'r our refuge, pray'r to Him, who rais'd, And still can raise, the dead to life and joy. 53. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS He saw the lovely youth, death's early prey, Alas, too early snatch'd away! He heard his mother's fun'ral cries Rise, youth, He said. The youth begins to rise. Lowly the matron bow'd, and bore away the prize. ACT THREE Scene 1 (Irene, with the Christians) 54. Air IRENE Lord, to Thee each night and day, Strong in hope, we sing and pray. Though convulsive rocks the ground, And thy thunders roll around, Still to Thee, each night and day, We sing and pray. Lord, to Thee… Scene 2 (Enter Theodora, in the habit of Didymus) 55. Recitative IRENE But see, the good, the virtuous Didymus! Wakeful as Philomel, with throbbing heart, He comes to join with us in pray'r for Theodora. THEODORA (discovering herself) No, Heav'n has heard your pray'rs for Theodora. Behold her safe! Oh, that as free and safe Were Didymus, my kind deliverer! But let this habit speak the rest. 56. Air THEODORA When sunk in anguish and despair, To Heav'n I cried, Heav'n heard my pray'r, And bade a tender father's care The gen'rous youth employ. The gen'rous youth obey'd and came, All wrapt in love's divinest flame, To save a wretched virgin's fame, And turn her grief to joy. 57. Solo and Chorus CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS Blest be the hand, and blest the pow'r, That in this dark and dang'rous hour, Sav'd thee from cruel strife. THEODORA AND CHRISTIANS Lord, favour still the kind intent, And bless thy gracious instrument With liberty and life. Scene 3 (Enter Messenger) 58. Recitative MESSENGER Undaunted in the court stands Didymus, Virtuously proud of rescued innocence. But vain to save the gen'rous hero's life Are all entreaties, ev'n from Romans vain. And, high-enrag'd, the President protests, Should he regain the fugitive, no more To try her with the fear of infamy, But with the terrors of a cruel death. IRENE Ah, Theodora, whence this sudden change, From grief's pale looks, to looks of redd'ning joy? THEODORA O my Irene, Heav'n is kind, And Valens too is kind, to give me pow'r To execute in turn my gratitude, While safe my honour. Stay me not, dear friend, Only assist me with a proper dress, That I may ransom the too gen'rous youth. 59. Duet IRENE Whither, Princess, do you fly, Sure to suffer, sure to die? THEODORA No, no, Irene, no, To life and joy I go. IRENE Vain Attempt, oh stay, oh stay! THEODORA Duty calls, I must obey. (Exit Theodora) 60. Recitative IRENE She's gone, disdaining liberty and life, And ev'ry honour this frail life can give. Devotion bids aspire to nobler things, To boundless love, and joys ineffable And such her expectation from kind Heav'n. 61. Air IRENE New scenes of joy come crowding on While sorrow fleets away, Like mists before the rising sun That gives a glorious day. Scene 4 (Valens, Didymus, Septimius, and Chorus of Heathens) 62. Recitative VALENS Is it a Christian virtue then, To rescue, from the hands of justice, one Condemn'd by my authority? DIDYMUS Such my religion, it condemns all crimes, None more than disobedience to just pow'r. And had your sentence doom'd her, but to death, I then might have deplor'd your cruelty, And not attempted to defeat it. Yet, I own no crime, unless it be a crime To've hindered you from perpetrating that Which would have made you odious to mankind, At least the fairest half. VALENS Aye, aye, fond man It was the charms of beauty, not of virtue, That tempted you to save her. Take him hence, And lead him to repentance, or to death. Scene 5 (Enter Theodora) THEODORA Be that my doom. You may inflict it here, With legal justice, there 'tis cruelty. If blood your angry laws require, behold, The principal is come to pay the debt And welcome sure to Romans the exchange, A warlike hero for an helpless maid. SEPTIMIUS Dwells there such virtuous courage in the sex? Preserve them, O ye gods, preserve them both. Ye Romans, join in the request, if e'er Lucretia's memory was dear to you, Or this your leader's valour and renown. 63. Air SEPTIMIUS From virtue springs each gen'rous deed That claims our grateful pray'r. Let justice for the hero plead, And pity save the fair. From virtue springs… VALENS Cease, ye slaves, your fruitless pray'r! The pow'rs below No pity know, For the brave, or for the fair. 64. Recitative DIDYMUS (to Septimius) Tis kind, my friends, but kinder still If for this daughter of Antiochus, In mind, as noble as her birth, your pray'rs Prevail, that Didymus alone shall die. (to Theodora) Had I as many lives as virtues thou, Freely for thee I would resign them all. THEODORA Oppose not, Didymus, my just desires; For know, that 'twas dishonour I declin'd, Not death, most welcome now, if Didymus Were safe, whose only crime was my escape. 65. CHORUS OF HEATHENS How strange their ends, And yet how glorious, Where each contends, To fall victorious, Where virtue its own innocence denies, And for the vanquish'd the glad victor dies! 66. Recitative DIDYMUS (to Valens) On me your frowns, your utmost rage exert, On me, your prisoner in chains. THEODORA These chains Are due to me, and death to me alone. VALENS Are ye then judges for yourselves? Not so our laws are to be trifled with. If both plead guilty, 'tis but equity That both should suffer. 67. Air VALENS Ye ministers of justice, lead them hence, I cannot, will not bear such insolence. And as our gods they honour, or despise, Fall they their supplicants, or sacrifice. (Exit Valens) Scene 6 68. Recitative DIDYMUS And must such beauty suffer? THEODORA Such useful valour be destroy'd? SEPTIMIUS Destroy'd, alas, by an unhappy constancy! DIDYMUS Yet deem us not unhappy, gentle friend, Nor rash; for life we neither hate, nor scorn, But think it a cheap purchase for the prize Reserv'd in Heav'n for purity and faith. 69. Air and Duet DIDYMUS Streams of pleasure ever flowing, Fruits ambrosial ever growing, Golden thrones, Starry crowns, Are the triumphs of the blest. When from life's dull labour free, Clad with immortality, They enjoy a lasting rest. THEODORA, DIDYMUS Thither let our hearts aspire Objects pure of pure desire, Still increasing, Ever pleasing, Wake the song, and tune the lyre Of the blissful holy choir. (Exeunt) Scene 7 (Irene, with the Christians) 70. Recitative IRENE Ere this, their doom is past and they are gone To prove that love is stronger far than death. 71. CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS O love divine, thou source of fame, Of glory, and all joy! Let equal fire our souls inflame, And equal zeal employ, That we the glorious spring may know, Whose streams appear'd so bright below. Handel,George Frideric/Theodora

Currently, because of the amazing weather that we are having in the Unite Kingdom, I started having deep desire in trying in different sporting activities that I can enjoy with my friends. Furthermore, I became interested in different equipments needed for the games that I have chosen. We decided to play a team game which foot ball, so we started looking for the football toot in the high street and we had high hopes that we can get what we are looking for. Sadly, all the malaysia sport shoponly had football kits and balls which bear the 4 teams in the UK. What we wanted are the nets, goal post and sports kits of our favorite international teams and the lower league teams that we like. Due to the disappointing result of our search for equipments that were not on the stores, we tried doing something more relaxing and we agreed to find some whilst and green bowling equipment that are very hard to find in the local stores. We were able to find many equipment online. Because of the flow of events, out preference for sporting activities expanded so much, that we are now considering plenty of options. We are planning to get some equipments used for cricket, which we hope will be available as soon as the cricket mania becomes alive again and for a change, we also want to try archery and buy the equipments needed for the game. There are different varieties of sporting equipments that everyone can purchase at sports shop in malaysia. We are able to find many indoor sports that we can play even though it does not match the current weather. For example, table football or if we are only skillful pool table or snooker is also something that we may try. These are all the options that are available for everyone. Now is the best time to take part on different sports not only to burn time but also to socialize and stay fit and healthy. It s also a wonderful way to not feel guilty about missing a workout session. In case you desire to locate equipment that you will be using for the sports that you chose, you can search online and type sports and you will see a lot of trusted stores where you can buy your equipments from. Enjoy!

CHAPTER II UP CHAPTER IV CHAPTER III Marilla Cuthbert is Surprised Marilla came briskly forward as Matthew opened the door. But when her eyes fell of the odd little figure in the stiff, ugly dress, with the long braids of red hair and the eager, luminous eyes, she stopped short in amazement. "Matthew Cuthbert, who s that?" she ejaculated. "Where is the boy?" "There wasn t any boy," said Matthew wretchedly. "There was only HER." He nodded at the child, remembering that he had never even asked her name. "No boy! But there MUST have been a boy," insisted Marilla. "We sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring a boy." "Well, she didn t. She brought HER. I asked the station- master. And I had to bring her home. She couldn t be left there, no matter where the mistake had come in." "Well, this is a pretty piece of business!" ejaculated Marilla. During this dialogue the child had remained silent, her eyes roving from one to the other, all the animation fading out of her face. Suddenly she seemed to grasp the full meaning of what had been said. Dropping her precious carpet-bag she sprang forward a step and clasped her hands. "You don t want me!" she cried. "You don t want me because I m not a boy! I might have expected it. Nobody ever did want me. I might have known it was all too beautiful to last. I might have known nobody really did want me. Oh, what shall I do? I m going to burst into tears!" Burst into tears she did. Sitting down on a chair by the table, flinging her arms out upon it, and burying her face in them, she proceeded to cry stormily. Marilla and Matthew looked at each other deprecatingly across the stove. Neither of them knew what to say or do. Finally Marilla stepped lamely into the breach. "Well, well, there s no need to cry so about it." "Yes, there IS need!" The child raised her head quickly, revealing a tear-stained face and trembling lips. "YOU would cry, too, if you were an orphan and had come to a place you thought was going to be home and found that they didn t want you because you weren t a boy. Oh, this is the most TRAGICAL thing that ever happened to me!" Something like a reluctant smile, rather rusty from long disuse, mellowed Marilla s grim expression. "Well, don t cry any more. We re not going to turn you out- of-doors to-night. You ll have to stay here until we investigate this affair. What s your name?" The child hesitated for a moment. "Will you please call me Cordelia?" she said eagerly. "CALL you Cordelia? Is that your name?" "No-o-o, it s not exactly my name, but I would love to be called Cordelia. It s such a perfectly elegant name." "I don t know what on earth you mean. If Cordelia isn t your name, what is?" "Anne Shirley," reluctantly faltered forth the owner of that name, "but, oh, please do call me Cordelia. It can t matter much to you what you call me if I m only going to be here a little while, can it? And Anne is such an unromantic name." "Unromantic fiddlesticks!" said the unsympathetic Marilla. "Anne is a real good plain sensible name. You ve no need to be ashamed of it." "Oh, I m not ashamed of it," explained Anne, "only I like Cordelia better. I ve always imagined that my name was Cordelia--at least, I always have of late years. When I was young I used to imagine it was Geraldine, but I like Cordelia better now. But if you call me Anne please call me Anne spelled with an E." "What difference does it make how it s spelled?" asked Marilla with another rusty smile as she picked up the teapot. "Oh, it makes SUCH a difference. It LOOKS so much nicer. When you hear a name pronounced can t you always see it in your mind, just as if it was printed out? I can; and A-n-n looks dreadful, but A-n-n-e looks so much more distinguished. If you ll only call me Anne spelled with an E I shall try to reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia." "Very well, then, Anne spelled with an E, can you tell us how this mistake came to be made? We sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring us a boy. Were there no boys at the asylum?" "Oh, yes, there was an abundance of them. But Mrs. Spencer said DISTINCTLY that you wanted a girl about eleven years old. And the matron said she thought I would do. You don t know how delighted I was. I couldn t sleep all last night for joy. Oh," she added reproachfully, turning to Matthew, "why didn t you tell me at the station that you didn t want me and leave me there? If I hadn t seen the White Way of Delight and the Lake of Shining Waters it wouldn t be so hard." "What on earth does she mean?" demanded Marilla, staring at Matthew. "She--she s just referring to some conversation we had on the road," said Matthew hastily. "I m going out to put the mare in, Marilla. Have tea ready when I come back." "Did Mrs. Spencer bring anybody over besides you?" continued Marilla when Matthew had gone out. "She brought Lily Jones for herself. Lily is only five years old and she is very beautiful and had nut-brown hair. If I was very beautiful and had nut-brown hair would you keep me?" "No. We want a boy to help Matthew on the farm. A girl would be of no use to us. Take off your hat. I ll lay it and your bag on the hall table." Anne took off her hat meekly. Matthew came back presently and they sat down to supper. But Anne could not eat. In vain she nibbled at the bread and butter and pecked at the crab-apple preserve out of the little scalloped glass dish by her plate. She did not really make any headway at all. "You re not eating anything," said Marilla sharply, eying her as if it were a serious shortcoming. Anne sighed. "I can t. I m in the depths of despair. Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?" "I ve never been in the depths of despair, so I can t say," responded Marilla. "Weren t you? Well, did you ever try to IMAGINE you were in the depths of despair?" "No, I didn t." "Then I don t think you can understand what it s like. It s very uncomfortable feeling indeed. When you try to eat a lump comes right up in your throat and you can t swallow anything, not even if it was a chocolate caramel. I had one chocolate caramel once two years ago and it was simply delicious. I ve often dreamed since then that I had a lot of chocolate caramels, but I always wake up just when I m going to eat them. I do hope you won t be offended because I can t eat. Everything is extremely nice, but still I cannot eat." "I guess she s tired," said Matthew, who hadn t spoken since his return from the barn. "Best put her to bed, Marilla." Marilla had been wondering where Anne should be put to bed. She had prepared a couch in the kitchen chamber for the desired and expected boy. But, although it was neat and clean, it did not seem quite the thing to put a girl there somehow. But the spare room was out of the question for such a stray waif, so there remained only the east gable room. Marilla lighted a candle and told Anne to follow her, which Anne spiritlessly did, taking her hat and carpet-bag from the hall table as she passed. The hall was fearsomely clean; the little gable chamber in which she presently found herself seemed still cleaner. Marilla set the candle on a three-legged, three-cornered table and turned down the bedclothes. "I suppose you have a nightgown?" she questioned. Anne nodded. "Yes, I have two. The matron of the asylum made them for me. They re fearfully skimpy. There is never enough to go around in an asylum, so things are always skimpy--at least in a poor asylum like ours. I hate skimpy night-dresses. But one can dream just as well in them as in lovely trailing ones, with frills around the neck, that s one consolation." "Well, undress as quick as you can and go to bed. I ll come back in a few minutes for the candle. I daren t trust you to put it out yourself. You d likely set the place on fire." When Marilla had gone Anne looked around her wistfully. The whitewashed walls were so painfully bare and staring that she thought they must ache over their own bareness. The floor was bare, too, except for a round braided mat in the middle such as Anne had never seen before. In one corner was the bed, a high, old-fashioned one, with four dark, low- turned posts. In the other corner was the aforesaid three- corner table adorned with a fat, red velvet pin-cushion hard enough to turn the point of the most adventurous pin. Above it hung a little six-by-eight mirror. Midway between table and bed was the window, with an icy white muslin frill over it, and opposite it was the wash-stand. The whole apartment was of a rigidity not to be described in words, but which sent a shiver to the very marrow of Anne s bones. With a sob she hastily discarded her garments, put on the skimpy nightgown and sprang into bed where she burrowed face downward into the pillow and pulled the clothes over her head. When Marilla came up for the light various skimpy articles of raiment scattered most untidily over the floor and a certain tempestuous appearance of the bed were the only indications of any presence save her own. She deliberately picked up Anne s clothes, placed them neatly on a prim yellow chair, and then, taking up the candle, went over to the bed. "Good night," she said, a little awkwardly, but not unkindly. Anne s white face and big eyes appeared over the bedclothes with a startling suddenness. "How can you call it a GOOD night when you know it must be the very worst night I ve ever had?" she said reproachfully. Then she dived down into invisibility again. Marilla went slowly down to the kitchen and proceeded to wash the supper dishes. Matthew was smoking--a sure sign of perturbation of mind. He seldom smoked, for Marilla set her face against it as a filthy habit; but at certain times and seasons he felt driven to it and them Marilla winked at the practice, realizing that a mere man must have some vent for his emotions. "Well, this is a pretty kettle of fish," she said wrathfully. "This is what comes of sending word instead of going ourselves. Richard Spencer s folks have twisted that message somehow. One of us will have to drive over and see Mrs. Spencer tomorrow, that s certain. This girl will have to be sent back to the asylum." "Yes, I suppose so," said Matthew reluctantly. "You SUPPOSE so! Don t you know it?" "Well now, she s a real nice little thing, Marilla. It s kind of a pity to send her back when she s so set on staying here." "Matthew Cuthbert, you don t mean to say you think we ought to keep her!" Marilla s astonishment could not have been greater if Matthew had expressed a predilection for standing on his head. "Well, now, no, I suppose not--not exactly," stammered Matthew, uncomfortably driven into a corner for his precise meaning. "I suppose--we could hardly be expected to keep her." "I should say not. What good would she be to us?" "We might be some good to her," said Matthew suddenly and unexpectedly. "Matthew Cuthbert, I believe that child has bewitched you! I can see as plain as plain that you want to keep her." "Well now, she s a real interesting little thing," persisted Matthew. "You should have heard her talk coming from the station." "Oh, she can talk fast enough. I saw that at once. It s nothing in her favour, either. I don t like children who have so much to say. I don t want an orphan girl and if I did she isn t the style I d pick out. There s something I don t understand about her. No, she s got to be despatched straight-way back to where she came from." "I could hire a French boy to help me," said Matthew, "and she d be company for you." "I m not suffering for company," said Marilla shortly. "And I m not going to keep her." "Well now, it s just as you say, of course, Marilla," said Matthew rising and putting his pipe away. "I m going to bed." To bed went Matthew. And to bed, when she had put her dishes away, went Marilla, frowning most resolutely. And up-stairs, in the east gable, a lonely, heart-hungry, friendless child cried herself to sleep.

マーチャー・ワールド(The Marcher World) すべての惑星、都市国家、僻地のコロニーが、冷酷なまでの拡張主義者である「アイアンスター・アライアンス」の権威を静かに受け入れようとしているわけではない。 アライアンスは国民に安全と繁栄を約束していますが、それは逆らう者がいればその支配権を主張することを厭わない征服者としてのものです。 アライアンスへの加盟を受け入れることは、その強権的な法律、企業の独占、そして軍隊を支えるために必要な破壊的な経済的要求を受け入れることである。 アライアンスに抵抗して自分たちの条件で生きようとする何十億人もの人々は、探検された宇宙の端に退避し、地図に載ったハイパーウラニオンとその先の未探検の世界との間の境界地帯で、自分たちの自由のために戦っている。 + 続きを表示する アライアンスに対抗しているのはマーチャーワールドであり、彼らは現実的で独立した人々であり、支援と相互保護のために自分たちを頼ることに慣れている。 アライアンスに抵抗するという点だけで統一されたマーチャーワールドは、人類が星を越えて拡大していく中で発展してきた異質な国家、地域社会、文化は、人類が星々を越えて拡大していく過程で発展したものである。 アライアンス軍の侵攻から自国の領土を守るという点では、信頼を勝ち取るのは難しく、忠誠心が揺らぐこともあるが、マーチャーワールドはアライアンスの侵略から自分たちの領土を守ることでその強さを証明してきた。 過酷で敵対的な惑星に住むことが多いマーチャーワールドの人々は、機知に富み、適応力があり、頑強である。 彼らの軍隊は敵を打ち負かすために型破りな戦略や戦術を採用することが多く、マーチャーワールドのウォーキャスターには、国民のために戦う献身的な愛国者から、最高額の入札者に自分の才能を売る傭兵までいる。 マーチャー・ワールドの概要 編集待ち PP社公式による勢力概要 Part1 マーチャー・ワールド その歴史 Warcaster Faction Overview Marcher Worlds Part 1 The Shield Against the Darkness Part2 マーチャー・ワールド デザイン秘話 Warcaster Faction Overview Marcher Worlds Part 2 By Any Means Necessary Part3 マーチャー・ワールド アーミー構築ガイド Warcaster Faction Overview Marcher Worlds Part 3 We Come with the Storm 勢力としての特徴 あるいはみんなの所見 ISAが平定している銀河中心部から逃れ、辺縁で逞しく生きる自由の人達。つまるところが無法者。そんな人々が連帯している精鋭揃いのゲリラ市民軍、という設定を反映して、あんまり変なことはしない（出来ない）代わりに基本的な部分が優秀。 射撃の火力と機動力、心持ち高めの回避力(DEF)が持ち味といったところ。 ヴォイドゲートによる出撃システムのため進軍速度という面ではあまり差がつかないんじゃない？と考えがちだが、個別のアクティベーション機会で大きく動けるというのは相手の思惑を崩せるアドバンテージになりうる。 射撃武器は射程の長め（10〜14インチ）のものも多いが、射撃一辺倒ファクションということもない。ただし実弾主体なのかbalistic属性の射撃攻撃が多く、少々対策されやすい。 多くのユニットがスパイクすると3インチの追加移動が可能 なんらかの追加移動を行うルールを持つユニットが多く、ヒット アウェイという戦い方も出来る。ミニチュアゲームで実際にそういう動き出来るの結構珍しいよね。 ある意味実直でスタンダード的な味付け、なのではないかしらん。悪く言えば力押しでがんばる勢力。なお力押しは断じて弱くない。力押しイズパワーだ。 Fireのコンティニュアス・エフェクトにアクセスしやすいのも特徴。反面Corrosionのエフェクトには全くアクセス出来ない。 またフューリーサイファーへのアクセスが弱く、コアリションウィーバー以外にチャネル能力を持つユニットが存在しない。 ウォージャックはライト・ヘヴィー共にバランスに優れた使い勝手のいい機体が揃っている。そんなウォージャックを使う上でコンバット・エンジニアは極めて魅力的であり、マーチャーワールドだけに与えられた特権だ。 ビークルも強力であり、より戦闘車両としての側面が強い。（代わりに機動性で劣るのだが） アーク利用技術については一歩遅れているらしく、チャージ・フェイズ以外でのチャージ機会が希少。自ユニットのアーク除去も極めて限定的な手段しか無い。そのためスパイクの積極的な使用などでアークの回収を意識しておくといいだろう。 それに反して敵に対するアーク除去を行う手段を複数備えていたりもするが、あくまでアーク除去のみでダメージを伴わないなどISA等には及ばない面もある。 取り立てての弱点のようなものが無いのもいいところ。 そんなマーチャーワールドはアーク利用という観点からはアークはまずはゲートに注ぎ込むものと割り切ってもいいのかもしれない。あっ、でもフューリーも使いたいです…！ あっあっ、ジャックもフルチャージしたいです…！ Collision Courseで追加されたマーチャーワールド専用サイファーカードは移動力を強化するものやウォージャックとの連携を意識したものが多く、機動性と打撃力という直接的な戦闘力の面が強調されたファクションという印象がより強くなっている。 THE THOUSANDS WORLDSで追加されたソロユニットはいずれもマーチャーワールドの前線押し上げ力を大いに強化してくれる。またケードリボックスはMWに飛行戦力を多く追加する構成となっており、敵の地上部隊を大いに苦しめてくれるだろう。 マーチャー・ワールドのユニット 2022年5月現在発売中（KS3モデルは一般販売になっていませんが記載しています） ウォージャック ダスクウルフ Dusk Wolf（ライトウォージャック） ストライクラプターStrike Raptor（ヘビーウォージャック） スカッド レンジャー・ファイアチーム Ranger Fire Team レンジャー・ヘビーサポート Ranger Heavy Support レンジャー・インフィルトレイター Ranger Infiltrators アタッチメント ワーダー Warder ザ・クォーターマスター The Quartermaster（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） ソロ コアリシュンウィーバー Coalition Weaver コンバットエンジニア Combat Engineer ハンター Hunter レンジャー・アウトライダー Ranger Outrider ヒーロー ソロ アルテミス＝ファング Artemis Fang（ヒーロー） ウォーチーフ・マレク＝セザール Warchief Malek Sezzar（ヒーロー） キャプテン ジャックス＝レッドブレード Captain Jax Redblade（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） ヴォイテク＝スーダル バウンティハンター Voitek Sudal,Bounty Hunter（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） コアバス Corebus（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） アクセル・フォー・ハイアー Axel for Hire（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） フェンリク・リーチ，フリーエージェント Ferik Leech, Free Agent（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） マスター・トゥルカン Master Tulcan（ワイルドカード ヒーロー） ビークル レイザーバット Razorbat フィドラー＆コー Fiddler Co.（ヒーロー）※ミニチュアはレイザーバット用改造パーツとして販売 マントレット ブラストシールド Blast Shield ドラグーン・エア・キャバルリー・ケードリ ストームバルチャーを除く下記のユニットを全てフォースに編成すると、チャンピオンユニット（ストームバルチャー）をボーナスとして編成枠外で追加可能 スカッド ドラグーン・アサルトチーム Dragoon Assault Team ドラグーン・ストライクチーム Dragoon Strike Team アタッチメント ドラグーン・ガンナー Dragoon Gunner ソロ ドラグーン・ストライクチームリーダー Dragoon Strike Team Leader ビークル ストームバルチャー Storm Vulture（チャンピオン）
