Excerpt from Norma: A Tragic Opera in Two Acts
A Religious March is heard - Enter the Gallic Army, followed by a Procession of Druids and, lastly, the Chief Priests, headed by oroveso.
Ora. On to the hills, oh holy band of Druids! On, as your duty is, and watch the Heavens; And when you see on high her silvery disk The new moon (omen of success) unveils, At the first radiant smile that beams from forth Her virgin face, charming the sea and shore, Thrice the glad tidings, spreading all around, Announce upon the sacerdotal bronze.
Dru. Will, then, to cut the sacred mistletoe, The mighty Norma come?
