HEROD
[To Herodias.] You see how you have brought up this daughter of yours.
HERODIAS
My daughter and I come of a royal race. As for thee, thy father was a camel driver! He was also a robber!
HEROD
Thou liest!
HERODIAS
Thou knowest well that it is true.
HEROD
Salomé, come and sit next to me. I will give thee the throne of thy mother.
