SALADIN.

That I shall joy in.

SITTAH.

What then should trouble thee? For if he be
One of the many only, a mere Jew,
You will not blush to such a one to seem
A man, as he thinks all mankind to be.
One, that to him should bear a better aspect,
Would seem a fool—a dupe.

SALADIN.

So that I must
Act badly, lest the bad think badly of me.

SITTAH.

Yes, if you call it acting badly, brother,
To use a thing after its kind.

SALADIN.

There’s nothing
That woman’s wit invents it can’t embellish.
