Booty enough! On, Druses! Be there found

Blood and a heap behind us; with us, Djabal

Turned Hakeem; and before us, Lebanon!

Yields the porch? Spare not! There his minions dragged

Thy daughter, Karshook, to the Prefect's couch!

Ayoob! Thy son, to soothe the Prefect's pride,

Bent o'er that task, the death-sweat on his brow,

Carving the spice-tree's heart in scroll-work there!

Onward in Djabal's name!

(As the tumult is at height, enter Khalil. A pause and silence.)
