And the whole soul drinks in th’ instruction.

RECHA.

Yes,
And Sittah certainly has not read much.

SITTAH.

But what can be thy reason? Speak out boldly,
Thy reason for it.

RECHA.

Unartificial—only like herself
And books do seldom leave us so; my father
Says.

SITTAH.

What a man thy father is, my Recha.

RECHA.
