PRINCESS (speaking wildly, already possessed by the GARDENER'S angry ghost, which speaks through her).*

Listen, people, listen!

In the noise of the beating waves

I hear the rolling of a drum.

Oh, joyful sound, oh joyful!

The music of a drum.

COURTIER

Strange, strange!

This lady speaks as one

By phantasy possessed.

What is amiss, what ails her?

PRINCESS

Truly, by phantasy I am possessed.

Can a damask drum give sound?

When I bade him beat what could not ring,

Then tottered first my wits.
