Not yet entirely—This
Was wanting still. Go, turn thyself about;
Take where, and as, thou canst; be quick, Al-Hafi.
Borrow on promise, contract, anyhow;
But heed me—not of those I have enriched—
To borrow there might seem to ask it back.
Go to the covetous. They’ll gladliest lend—
They know how well their money thrives with me—
HAFI.
I know none such.
SITTAH.
I recollect just now
I heard, Al-Hafi, of thy friend’s return.
HAFI (startled).
Friend—friend of mine—and who should that be?
SITTAH.
Who?
Thy vaunted Jew!
HAFI.
