Soldier. O king—

Saul. You've slain him and you tremble! Say it.

Soldier. No.

Saul. Then hither with him; hither!

Soldier. He's not here.

Saul. A treachery! You cunningly contrive
To aid him, so....

(To a soldier from the other cave.)

Bring me his head.

Soldier (fearfully). My lord,
He is not there....

Saul. I tell you it is lies—
Because you deem that he shall be the king,
And treasure up reward and amnesty.
