Part 102 (2/2)

What! indeed!

NATHAN.

I think I may rely upon you, Daja.

Be on your guard, I beg, you'll not repent it.

Your conscience shall at length be satisfied, But do not mar my plans. Inquire, explain, But with reserve, with fitting modesty.

DAJA.

No need for such advice. I go, I go.

And you must follow; for, see, Hafi comes-- The Sultan sends a second messenger.

Scene IX.

Nathan, Al-Hafi.

AL-HAFI.

Ha! are you there? I have been seeking you.

NATHAN.

Why in such haste? What can he want with me?

AL-HAFI.

Who?

NATHAN.

Saladin. But I am coming quickly.

AL-HAFI.

To whom? To Saladin?

NATHAN.

Has he not sent you?

AL-HAFI.

Me? no--but has he sent already?

NATHAN.

Yes.
