Scene - Garden ; gentleman asleep in hammock chair : lady gathering flowers comes toward gentleman, finding him asleep tickles him, and runs away ; comes back, finds him still asleep, kisses him, and runs away again. Gentleman jumps up and rubs his eyes ; a friend saunters up, explains that he has lost a pair of gloves, in accordance with ancient custom, pointing towards the fair winner in hiding. Plot to catch the lady; I will pretend to be asleep again. All right, I won't say anything. Waiting, with his eyes closed, in sweet expectation, he feels the breath of the fair one fanning his cheek, jumps up, and puts his arms round- a donkey's neck.
