Not very long; my going was indeed
Too much delayed. Troth, Conrade, this man’s fame
Outstrips him not. His fame is but his shadow.
But before all I have to tell you—

TEMPLAR.

What?

NATHAN.

That he would speak with you, and that directly.
First to my house, where I would give some orders,
Then we’ll together to the sultan.

TEMPLAR.

Nathan,
I enter not thy doors again before—

NATHAN.

Then you’ve been there this while—have spoken with her.
How do you like my Recha?

TEMPLAR.
