Thou shouldst be harnessed 'neath the common yoke.

Al. My will is nothing, prince, and if Morocco

Already hath three wives, I shall rank first.

Fer. Monstrous! Wilt thou stoop to such servile change?

Al. Unwittingly thou speak’st against thyself.

Fer. Alas! what words have injured me with thee?

Al. None: but thy fate is knit in one with theirs,

Whose happiness thou bidst me now not weigh.

Fer. On that day shall I too be given to thee?

Al. Betray me not, I pray.
