When he is much besought, and thinks it right,
A dervis must.
NATHAN.
Well spoken, by our God!
Embrace me, man, you’re still, I trust, my friend.
HAFI.
Why not ask first what has been made of me?
NATHAN.
Ask climbers to look back!
HAFI.
And may I not
Have grown to such a creature in the state
That my old friendship is no longer welcome?
NATHAN.
