 The text of "Kenilworth" consists of descriptions of various mythical entities, creatures and people joyfully praising Elizabeth, singing and dancing to her after her arrival in Kenilworth on a summer's night.These include the Lady of the Lake, who rises from the water to greet her, and the ancient Greek poet Arion, who arrives astride a dolphin.A performance of the "summer night" scene from "The Merchant of Venice" is given, and then the Queen is sung lovingly to sleep.
