An Account of the new Tragedy, intitled, CREUSA, Queen of Athens, written by Mr. WILLIAM WHITEHEAD, which was lately acted at the TheatreRoyal in Drury-Lane. 1 Τ HE perfons of the drama are, Xuthus, king A of Athens, husband to Creüfa; Ilyffus, an unknown youth, attendant on the temple at Delphi; Aletes, a Grecian fage; Phorbas, an old Athenian; priests of Apollo; citizens of Athens: Creüfa, queen of Athens; Pythia, priestefs of Apollo; Lycea, and other women B attending upon the queen; virgins belonging to the temple; guards, &c. And the fcene is the veftibule of the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and the laurel grove adjoining. Act I. Scene, the vestibule of the temple. Ilyffus and virgins enter, and he defires them to make hafte to deck the temple, for that the fun had already begun to appear, and he heard the noise of chariots approaching. Upon this Phorbas enters, and after him Pythia. By him fhe is informed, that his queen Creüsa, and her husband Eolian Xuthus, were coming to confult the oracle why they had been 15 years married without any child, and to beg an heir, or to know on whom they should fix the Athenian crown: That Xuthus had by his courage once faved Athens, in return for which their king Erectheus had given him his daughter Creüfa in marriage, and left him, tho' a ftranger, the crown of Athens, which was perhaps the caufe of their prefent misfortune; for Creüfa was then beloved by, and deeply in love with a young Athenian, named Nicander, who upon that account was banished, and he believed, murdered, because his garments were found upon the road all ftained with May, 1754. blood That after his death Creüfa, at the defire of her father, and the interceffion of her country, had married Xuthus, but could never forget Nicander, to whofe memory fhe had erected a tomb, at which, with the leave of her father, and afterwards of her husband, the performed annual rites to parted love. In this difcourfe Phorbas difcovered the riveted averfion he had to his country's being under the power of a foreigner as their king; and by this time Creüfa being near, Pythia gives orders to llyffus to receive the queen, and retires into the temple, having first told him, that after having paid due honours to the queen, he should hafte to Aletes and acquaint him, that fomething of uncommon importance required his inftant prefence. Creüfa then enters, and tells Phorbas, that the king had stopped to pay his duty at Trophonius' cave; and upon Пlyffus' paying his compliments to her, fhe earnestly inquires who he was? What was his name? What country he was of? Who were his parents? To which he answered, that he was a fervant of the god, and that they called him Ilyffus; but as to his country or parents he knew nothing, for he was told that 18 years fince he had been found in an offer basket in the portal of the temple, brought up by the prieftels, and Deaf exercife by a fage called Aletes, who taught not only philofophy but all forts C E had retired from the world, and lived in a cottage on the adjoining mountain's brow. Whereupon the kindly asks him, if he would go with her when the returned to Athens, to which he made fome dif ficulty, and doubted if he was in earnest." The company having all then at her defire retired, but Phorbas and Lycea, fhe tells them, that this youth exactly resembled the perfon of Nicander; and after she had ordered Phorbas, to inquire more ftrictly into the hiftory of this youth, and the fage upon the mountain, he infinuates B b 2 |
