For Love of the King: A Burmese Masque is a pantomimic play by Oscar Wilde. Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright. Excerpt: "A humble dhunni-thatched hut, set amidst the whispering grandeur of the jungle, with its mighty trees, its trackless paths, its indescribable silence. The curtain discovers mah phru and the king, who expresses his amazement at the loneliness and the poverty of her lot. She explains that poverty is not what frightens her, but the enmity of those who live yonder, and who make it almost impossible for her to sell her cucumbers or her pineapples. the king's gaze never leaves the face or figure of the girl. He declares that he will protect her -- that he will build her a home here in the shadow of the loneliness around them. He has two years of an unfettered freedom -- for those years he can command his life. He loves her, he desires her -- they will find a Paradise together. The girl trembles with joy -- with fear -- with surprise. "And after two years?" she asks. "Death," he answers."
