Scene.—The Place of Palms, close to Nathan’s House.

Nathan, attired, comes out with Recha.

RECHA.

You have been so very slow, my dearest father,
You now will hardly be in time to find him.

NATHAN.

Well, if not here beneath the palms; yet, surely,
Elsewhere. My child, be satisfied. See, see,
Is not that Daya making towards us?

RECHA.

She certainly has lost him then.

NATHAN.

Why so?
