ACT I.
Scene
The stage represents an open place in a Heathen Village. In the back ground is an Idol overturned, and near it on an eminence, a cross erected. The Idol is naked, and has a lion's face. On its breast it bears a bull's head, in its right hand a club or battle-axe, and on its head a bird like a goose. On both sides are the remains of dwellings — some plundered and burning, others still smoaking, and half demolished.
Sir Theobald of Wulfingen and his Squire , making their way over the ruins.
( Returns his sword into the scabbard, and throws himself breathless upon a hillock. )
