But when my foot was on the very plank

That rock’d upon the foam along the beach,

I, who could never get you from my heart,

And knew that you had come to peril hither,

Could but return once more to him who saved

My life, though he had waved me from his side.

Enough; I am in time. I tell you, sir,

Give up this man at once. (To the Judge.)

Judge. Not for you all!

Alon. Then at him and his people!
