SALADIN.
Had you the thought of staying?
SITTAH.
In your immediate presence not indeed,
But in the by-room.
SALADIN.
You could like to listen.
Not that, my sister, if I may insist.
Away! the curtain rustles—he is come.
Beware of staying—I’ll be on the watch.
[While Sittah retires through one door, Nathan enters at another, and Saladin seats himself.
Saladin and Nathan.
SALADIN.
Draw nearer, Jew, yet nearer; here, quite by me,
Without all fear.
