Part 108 (2/2)

No, not with you, But in this neighb'ring chamber.

SALADIN.

What! to listen?

Not so, my sister, if I shall succeed.

Away! the curtain rustles--he is come.

Beware of lingering! I'll be on the watch.

(_While_ Sittah _retires through, one door_, Nathan _enters at another, and_ Saladin _seats himself_.)

Scene V.

Saladin, Nathan.

SALADIN.

Draw nearer, Jew--yet nearer--close to me!

Lay fear aside.

NATHAN.

Fear, Sultan, 's for your foes.

SALADIN.

Your name is Nathan?

NATHAN.

Yes.

SALADIN.

Nathan the Wise.

NATHAN.

No.

SALADIN.

But, at least the people call you so.

NATHAN.

That may be true. The people!

SALADIN.
