Centurion : A Drama in Two Scenes,
single work
drama
(p. 5-14)
'The chief figures are Marcellus, a centurion, and Alban, an officer, serving with the Roman armies in Palestine. As the play progresses Alban learns that Marcellus, the libertine, has caused the death in Rome of Cleonice, Alban's intended bride, and he plans to kill him; but, as it happens, they are quartered in Bethlehem on the night of the Nativity and the divine irradiance of the Holy Motherhood so works on Alban's angry heart that he spares the wretch. In Mary, housed in the stable below the room where the officers quarrel, the pagan soldier sees the divine quality he had worshipped in his Cleonice' ('Polygon.' 'Two Local Plays,' p. 15).
