The Dramatic Works of G. E. Lessing / Miss Sara Sampson, Philotas, Emilia Galotti, Nathan the Wise

by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

I'm born of Christian blood,

Have been baptised, and am not Nathan's child!

Nathan is not my father! God, O God!

He's not my father, Sittah! Now, behold,

I'm once more prostrate at your feet.

SITTAH.

Arise!

Recha, arise! behold, my brother comes.

Scene VII.

Saladin, Sittah, and Recha.
