Excerpt from The Empress: Historical Drama in Four Acts

Ah, indeed! the glorious position now occupied by her Majesty is enough to make one quite envious. For why was not I, or any one of us called upon to reign, since we all have loyal blood coursing terough our veins.

(Second noble lady addresses the company.)

Yes bat oar blood is not of the right kind. Only that blood which flows through the veins of the members of the Hapsburgh family can find its way to the throne of Austria.

(Second nobleman addresses the company.)

So you see, though our blood is very fine, it is not fine enough.

(First nobleman addresses the company.)

That ought to settle the bloody question. So far as I am concerned, I care very little about who is, or who is not the occupant of the throne. My chief desire at present is to know whether we will have as pleasant times under Maria Theresa, as we had under her good and jolly father Charles the Sixth.

(Third noble lady addresses the company.)

Why of course we will have even jollier times. Hunting, theatre, balls and elegant banquets. Ah! (smacks her lips) even now I have a foretaste of the good things to come.

(First nobleman addresses the company.)

Undoubtedly, it will be just as before. Who ever heard of a woman in high position ignoring the pleasures of life, especially at the Court of Austria. You may rest assured that the Empress is fond of pleasure and cares very little about affairs of State. That old bear, Prime Minister Bartenstein, will attend to all serious business. And now let us attend the audience of the Empress and then tra la! la! la! la! we will continue our round of pleasures. I will read the address of welcome. Long live Maria Theresa, our young Empress. (All cry out) Long may she live!
