With the entrance to the Fiery Gulph, where the Witch consults her Familiar, guarded by an immense Dragon, whose power is counteracted by that of the Sylph, who after singing the following air, Hither haste the young and gay-Mrs Martyr changes the Scene to The Bower of Constancy; The Lovers are united by their Parents, and the Piece concludes with an appropriate Finale-.
