Steward [to Rheou] Master, it is Yaouma.

Rheou. Go, as 'tis custom, let all go forth to meet those who come.

All go out save Yaouma and Satni.

Satni. 'Tis you—

Yaouma [radiant] 'Tis I!

Satni. You may refuse.

Yaouma. And leave Egypt—

Satni. We will leave it together.

Yaouma. 'Tis I! Think of it, Satni! The God, out of all my companions, the God has chosen me!

Satni. Do not stay here. Come with me.
