Ashobal.
None yet, nor will be for a while.
Prophet.
King Jehu,
Jehu, the King, God’s comet, bringing change.
Come soon, come soon. Oh, what is Pharmas doing?
Ashobal.
He writes some pressing matter for the Queen.
Prophet.
We shall be late. Come, Pharmas! Hurry, hurry!
Would he were here and we away from this.
We are like hunters in the lion’s den,
Knowing the lion to be near.
Ashobal.
I hear him.
Yes; this is Pharmas coming. Here he is.
