THE PILGRIM
THE
PILGRIM
A COMEDY:
As it is Acted
at the THEATRE-ROYAL,
IN
DRURY-LANE.
Written Originally by Mr. Fletcher, and now very much Alter'd, with several Additions.
LIKEWISE
A Prologue, Epilogue, Dialogue and Masque, Written by the late Great Poet Mr. DRYDEN, just before his Death, being the last of his WORKS.
LONDON, Printed for Benjamin Tooke, near the Middle-
Temple-Gate, in Fleet-street, 1700.
John Dryden hat für die oben genannte Aufführung den Text für "The pilgrim" von Fletcher unter anderem um einen Prolog und einen Epilog erweitert, die für die Buchausgabe Q1 beide vor dem Stück gedruckt wurden. Nach dem Stücktext folgt "Song for a scholar and his mistress" und "The secular masque". In einer weiteren Ausgabe (Q2) von "The pilgrim" wird sogar eine eigene Titelseite eingefügt, die "A Dialogue and Secular Masque in The pilgrim (1701)" angekündigt, und dieser sogar eine eigene Signatur und auch eigene Seitenzahlen zuordnet werden. "A Dialogue" steht auf S. 1-8 und "Song..." auf S. 9-12. Auch an andern Stellen (etwa in Congreves Ausgabe der "Dramatick Works of Dryden") werden die Texte nachgedruckt, ohne den Zusammenhang zum Stück von Fletcher überhaupt zu benötigen.
Wir haben darum hier auch nur die neu erstellten Texte Drydens vorgestellt. Im Anschluss finden Sie als PDF-Datei den kompletten Text von "The pilgrim" in einer Neuübersetzung, in der der Prolog bzw. Epilog von Dryden dem Stück seines Kollen vor- bzw. nachgestellt ist.

deceive us in pity of your pain but when

a song the st. Cecilia's day by john
06:09
dryden from harmony from heavenly
06:15
harmony this universal frame began when
06:19
nature underneath the heap of jarring
06:22
atoms lay and could not heave her head
06:25
but tuneful voice was heard from high
06:28
arise ye more than dead then cold and
06:33
hot and moist and dry in order to their
06:37
stations leap and musics power obey from
06:42
harmony from heavenly harmony this
06:45
universal frame began from harmony to
06:50
harmony through all the compass of the
06:52
notes it ran the diapason closing full
06:56
in man what pression cannot music raise
07:01
and quell when do Bell struck the corded
07:05
shell his listening brethren stood
07:08
around and wandering on their faces fell
07:11
to worship that celestial sound less
07:16
than a god they thought there could not
07:19
dwell within the hollow of that shell
07:20
but spoke so sweetly and so well what
07:26
passion cannot music raise and quell
07:31
the trumpets loud clang er excites us to
07:35
arms with shrill notes of anger and
07:37
mortal alarms the double double double
07:41
beat of the thundering drum cries hark
07:44
the foes come charge charge
07:47
tis too late to retreat a soft
07:51
complaining flute in dying notes
07:54
discovers the woes of hopeless lovers
07:58
whose dirge is whispered by the warbling
08:01
lute sharp violins proclaim their
08:05
jealous pangs and desperation fury
08:07
frantic indignation depths of pains and
08:11
height of passion for the fair
08:14
disdainful Dame but oh what art can
08:19
teach what human voice can reach the
08:22
sacred organs praised notes inspiring
08:26
holy laugh notes that wing their
08:29
heavenly ways to mend the choirs above
08:33
Orpheus could lead the savage race and
08:36
trees unrooted left their place
08:39
sequester's of the lyre but bright
08:42
Cecilia raised the Wonder higher when to
08:46
her organ vocal breath was given an
08:49
angel heard and straight appeared
08:53
mistaking earth for heaven
