Some Background Information:
This play takes place in the Garden of Eden, about a hundred years after Adam and Eve were first conceived. They did not eat from the tree that contained the fruit of knowledge of good and evil many years ago, and a small society of a few hundred people has been formed.
Act I, Scene I
ADAM- Anniversary of Fruit Not Eaten
Hold heads high brethren;
We ‘ave souls lofty and noble
CIVILIAN-
Look there, he speaks! He of voice of such musical delight!
ADAM-
Hush you now. Flattery does not suit me.
Now men, celebrate with me upon so special a day
When God’s peculiarities of trickery
did not make us perish with the weight of our curious ways
Some plentiful years ago
For we did not eat the forbidden fruit!
MEN OF CROWD-
Aye sir! Aye!
HENRI-
(Whispers)Fidelia, dost ye know if the fruit still grows?
FIDELIA-
Aye, the fruit still grows bountifully.
Why must one wonder?
HENRI-
No matter.
FIDELIA-
A prodigious inquiry, aye.
HENRI-
Leave it as ye may.
FIDELIA-
Old man Horace claims knowledge;
He is on the North mark, past the Great Cottage of Redemption.
It may be a rumor of foolery,
But the crease doth sprout plentifully between ye’s brows
And it may be a luscious serendipity
That ye find if endeavorance is strong
HENRI-
What a mellifluous mouth ye have, aye girl
If I triumph
May I bequeath to you a wondrous gift
FIDELIA-
May ye triumph, what dost ye mean?
Shall not lead a lady of help into oblivion, aye sir?
HENRI-
No matter.Act I, Scene I
