Excerpt from Corianton an Aztec Romance; A Romantic Spectacular Drama in Four Acts
Lamarck. 'Tis said now since the Judges reign that every man is counted free.
Zennock. Too free for much unbridled speech. Our law is lax; our freedom is abused. Ne'er should have been a Korihor, an Anti-Christ for trial.
Lamarck. How now, gray beard and High Priest satellite. In Zarahemla a man is free to think as he will; talk as he will.
Jasper (entering through throng L). We shall see if thou art right; Korihor will never quail.
Lamarck (extending hand - shake). Ah my good friend Jasper, And thou art come to hear the trial of Korihor (mockingly).
Jasper. Could Jasper miss so certain a sensation? (They laugh.)
Lamarck. 'Tis not long until the trial.
Jasper. The dial points the hour.
(Amuloki And Seantum stroll in from prison yard, R.
Our greatest friend, our Amuloki (meets him extending both hands). Hath Nephihah, the Chief Judge, granted our request that we may see the prisoner?
Amuloki. Ay, ye all may see this friend of freedom when the sentinel announces.
Omnes. 'Tis well; I wish to see him.
Jasper. Our Judge is growing liberal.
Zennock. He hath always been so; liberal and just.
Omnes (some of them). Thou sayest well! He hath, etc., etc.
Amuloki. My friends of Zarahemla, it gives me joy to present to you a Zoramite Im proud to know - Seantum, foremost man in Antionum.
Omnes. (All bow low.)
Seantum. Noble sirs, it is a joy thus to meet you. (As he bows he gives the Secret Gadianton Order sign of Recognition.)
Jasper (advancing toward Seantum.) Thou art friend and brother. (Signs "Return of Recognition," "Secrecy." They embrace and step aside, R. 1, for confidential talk.)
Amuloki. Thou wert discussing Korihor, him and his coming trial.
(Shiblon enters L. and looking among the throng for his brother Corianton. Talking with Omxes R.)
I tell ye there is much truth in the complaints of Korihor. The High Priest and the Chief Judge are be coming too arbitrary in their rulings. There is too much said about law and order; and not enough regard paid to personal liberty.
Shiblon (coming down R. C.) Tut, man, whenever has a disturber of the peace, a blasphemer of God, any enemy to religion, come amongst us but he hath taken refuge behind the cry of "liberty?"
Jasper (to Amuloki aside like). 'Tis Shiblon, righteous son of High Priest Alma.
