Scene III.—An Arab Encampment round a few palm-trees in the Desert—Watch-fires in the background.—Night.

Several Arabs enter with Aymer.

Arab Chief. Thou hast fought bravely, stranger;

Now, come on

To share the spoil.

Aym. I reck not of it. Go,

Leave me to rest.

Arab. Well, thou hast earn’d thy rest

With a red sabre. Be it as thou wilt.

[They go out.—He throws himself under a palm-tree.
