Summary: not Kodal. BAPPA Good! Now, let’s hasten to the pass To view the prey stretched out by twenty eye-balls— A sight well worth the seeing. Exit with Sungram and Kodal. PRITHURAJ You play this game with thine own destiny, O Bappa. Act II Scene 2 769 PRITHURAJ What place is this which thou hast taken me, Sunjar? SUNJAR Prithuraj, these are the hills of Anar, where, guarded by my men, thou’lt rest secure and unharmed from ambush or the Scythian. Hooshka, here strike camp; Sir, let me help ye to alight. Follow me, friends. Can I afford you shelter, Ingonyama? Kodal, take the south flank. SUNJAR Venu, Vanstur, the centre and the west. Follow close, men. In march, no chatter; watch close but be seen little. What have we here — travellers, acquaintances, friends, or foes or just a tribe of mountain-goats? PRITHURAJ We are travellers, the Prince of Cashmere. LORD KEBDAN Are you, my Lord? Why a prince among Bheels in Edur? PEOPLE OF ANAR. LORD KEBDAN Jehu, come down; is this a dance or a war-dance? Are you man or beast or wild bull? JEHU I am a man, Sir, and no wild bull. LORD KEBDAN Then come down, man. A royal visit in Anar never comes down upon its solitudes so histrionically, I promise you. JEHU Tis no doubt, Prince Toraman has been at Huurn this evening, Lord. LORD KEBDAN Ah lovely Modawasil, what ails thee now to be so melancholic? Are the laurels spoiled? Do the fruits lie rotting uncollected in the sun, thou daughter of Styx and Stygia. Modawasil! Act II Scene 1 764 LORD VANSTUR You’re tied, Jehu; you can do no less. This is a raiding band of Bheels; Isle leaves you, dear Jehu. TARRY, There’s a devil in helland sunnesum in Aldo. JEHU Go away, go up, vampire and taste thy toadstool! LORD KEENAN There’s a flutter, what ails thee, woman? Is this a wooing or a wedding dance? Are the cattle in the corn? Do the enemy come with gifts? JEHU What, peace be with thee, excellent friend, hairy daughter of the mountains. LORD VANSTUR Modawasil, there needs more than the hairy daughter of the mountain to solve Jehu’s riddles or bring him back from the wood. PRITHURAJ Are you the leader of this band, Sunjar? SUNJAR In this retreat, Lord Prince, but this is war. PRITHURAJ Without a battle-cry! Without hurrahs! SUNJAR There’s an ambush. Can you flick a spear- shaft by the cam- bow of the nomad and not have done? PRITHURAJ Sunjar, go on, thou wert better as choirboy in one eye of the Scythian than as crow or grinning grimace marshaler of Bheels to meet an honest Rajpoot. Prince of Edur 767 SUNJAR ‘Rajpoot,’ didst say? LORD KERT Be assured our leader, Rheinthal will visit on this avoid- ance and plan a stealthy blood-let near arraignment to the sun-purge of his craft in rituals epergne. Lord Vanstur, they are in the valley. SUNJAR No stealthy blood-let near the ascent of the sun-purge did Rheinthal occasion nor shadowy overture in revival or exploration of the finking flame. LORD KEBT Close up. Vanstur to me, Vanstur! What need of songs of azrael or strings and the lute in desolate places Edur? SUNJAR Hooshka, are they drawn up? HOOSKHA They are drawn up and listening. SUNJAR From the far rise, men. A sconce of Bheels comes down, led by scorpion-sight in the dusk and moonlight. VIDALA. PRITHURAJ What means this commotion, friends, this clamour, these halloos of the Bheels in the hills? SUNJAR The patientel have called from the Negro’s cave; a king has entered from the high plains; engines of war have fallen from the stars and smithies have strowelled the anvil and set the blade. VIDALA Enter. QUEEN VIDALA Vo! Who goes there? The high mountains of Arram are trodden with battles or ages; they cry out with war-cries and bells ring in the morning mist from the forest; mass meetings in the glades drench with blood of Edur. PRITHURAJ Right; level the spears. Act I Scene 4 775 QUEEN VIDALA Thro’ the black arrows; slew the weeping wolves; fall from the rocky crags and carry off into the caves the chosen of men. Light the glimmer in the murk; carry light to the sealskin; styahrcry, the wolf is gone.---EXIT from the hills. Comfort me so GREAT VIDALA! EXIT. TAUNAG Of a truth the Prince of Cashmere appears, in this house, a party to a dramatic conversation; — Exeunt SCENE V A clearing in the forest. Coomood, Nirmol, Ishany, Latajya, Acinto and Jeronimo. COOMOOD By Krishna, peace, my friends. Where is the battle, Latajya, that makes the forest shake and the Bheels dance their war-dance? LATAJYA } The princes, Canaca and Hooshka are at grapple with a young Rajpoot who, undaunted, defies them. COOMOOD Wherefore should the Bheels trouble our quiet jumble themselves to ruin at the lion-jaw, Or let night’s star above the poplar bloom Speak of the expectation Nature feeds With aspirations rival to her calm. To walk under the glory of the night, The firmament alit with starry eyes, Nor find them constellations of the soul Tranquil and high to which thou may’st aspire Towards superiority to thine own law Of life, is blindness. COMOL CUMARY O philosophy! A mother thou canst never be. Thy arms hold neither kisses nor warm breast, Jrifled yet sweetly bitter both saffron-savour of life. Nor thine to be the petals of a rose, Gates of a glory ever tied with thorns, Nor thine to deal with chains that axns the soul With motives it admirers more than fears, Nor thine the prance of the fleet-foot steed And the windy chase and the dogs in leash For the boar, nor thine the heavy what of tilt Or ring with the issue of a life or death.
