Since when has Xerxes cared for truth?
Ahafid
What say?
Smerdis
He'll add two extra stars to Esther's crown.
Ahafid
Beloved Vashti lives in poverty,
The victim of a lewd and brutal whim.
And now it seems that Esther's fate was sealed
When Haman wrote that every Jew must die
Because the Hebrew Mordecai refused
Obeisance to his over-bearing pride.
Smerdis
Watch Esther smash that seal.
Ahafid
