The Ball room is full with couples dancing. With a mask on his face, the elegant Prince approaches the Princess while fireworks explode outside the castle.

The last beautiful dance of Prince Endymion and his Princess Serenity. Full with grace and love, they dance. However, they are not happy, since Endymion has discovered a conspiracy against the Moonkingdom.

Sonnet XXXII The first time that the sun rose on thine oath To love me, I looked forward to the moon To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon And quickly tied to make a lasting troth. Quick-loving hearts, I thought, may quickly loathe; And, looking on myself, I seemed not one For such man's love! -- more like an out-of-tune Worn viol, a good singer would be wroth To spoil his song with, and which, snatched in haste, Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note. I did not wrong myself so, but I placed A wrong on thee. For perfect strains may float 'Neath master-hands, from instruments defaced And great souls, at one stroke, may do and dote. Elizabeth Barret-Browning
