Note 75 — ACT I.
Reading edition
Phraortes, in the Captives, seems to have been acquainted with king Arthur:
"Proclaim a festival for seven days' space, Let the court shine in all its pomp and lustre, Let all our streets resound with shouts of joy; Let music's care-dispelling voice be heard; The sumptuous banquet and the flowing goblet Shall warm the cheek and fill the heart with gladness. Astarbe shall sit mistress of the feast."
