(To Semiramis) A boon, your majesty! ’T would blot our honor
To send him from us thus! We shall be plunged
Anew in wars, for Husak will avenge it!
I am thy most unhappy subject, and
Thou ’lt hear my prayer!
(Goes after Khosrove and leads him back)
You ’ll stay, O Khosrove?
Khos. Ay,
On one condition.
Nin. Name it!
Khos. That you will take
Our seat at feast.
Nin. Nay—
Sem. That is our command!
Nin. No, no!
Sem. We ’ll have it so!
