Whate'er death be, would venture now to die
For Khalil, for Maani—what for thee?
Nay, but embrace me, Djabal, in assurance
My vow will not be broken, for I must
Do something to attest my faith in you,
Be worthy you!
Dja. [Avoiding her.] I come for that—to say
Such an occasion is at hand: 'tis like
I leave you—that we part, my Anael,—part
Forever!
