MANF RED.

ACT. I.

S G ENE I.

MaäANFRRD alone— Scene, a Gochic gallery— Time, Midnight.

Tas lamp must be replenisl'd, but even then It will not burn so long as I must watch: My slumbers— if I slumber— are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close

To look within; and yet I live, and bear

The aspect and the form of breathing men.
