THE RESCUE OF THE PRINCESS WINSOME

ACT I.

SCENE I. Witch bends over fire in middle of orchard, brewing a charm in her caldron.  Ogre stalks in, grinning frightfully, swinging his bludgeon in triumph.

Ogre

  Ha, old witch, it is done at last! 
  I have broken the King’s stronghold! 
  I have stolen away his children twain
  From the clutch of their guardsmen bold. 
  I have dragged them here to my castle tower. 
  Prince Hero is strong and fair. 
  But he and his sister shall rue my power,
  When once up yon winding stair.
