Timed Deliberations Amid Zelida’s Dramatic Moment
Fragmentary lines mention Marmontel and Zelida in a theatrical mood. The speaker notes light in a great matter and hints at blessing a moment of birth or arrival. It reads like a fragment from a 19th century dramatic verse with abundant mispunctuation.
