_A grand Banquet under Pavilions in the Palace Gardens._ (Hollogan.)
_The KING; and VALENTINE (unarmed) discovered in great state, Nobles
and Ladies seated at the Banquet Tables, &c._
_ORSON enters, pleased at the sight, goes from one table to the
other--the KING orders him wine, he imitates their manner of
drinking--takes another cup, is going to drink, VALENTINE tells
him to be careful, pointing to his head, indicating that wine
will intoxicate him, ORSON does not understand him--a Servant
entering with wine, he forces it from him, and goes off with
it--the Princess's Ladies enter, much alarmed at missing her, and
bring with them her cloathes._
_VALENTINE calls for HUGO, who informs him that the Princess bribed
him to let her have VALENTINE's armour to go to the Green
Knight's camp--VALENTINE, goes off, followed by the KING, &c.
in search of EGLANTINE.--ORSON re-enters, and from the effects
of the wine, appears half intoxicated--HUGO sits down at the
table, pours out a goblet of wine, when ORSON suddenly takes
it out of his hand, shewing him, by pointing to his head, in
VALENTINE's manner, it is not good for him; he misses VALENTINE,
runs anxiously about, seems to enquire of HUGO, looks under the
tables, and in every place, and at last tears his hair, stamps,
and throws himself on the ground--HUGO, alarmed, runs off.--ORSON
rises, once more looks about for VALENTINE, and not seeing him,
goes distractedly off, leaping over the tables, and overturning
all before him._
