When Ayoob shall receive, but not before,

Let him throw ope the palace doors, admit

The Druses to behold their tyrant, ere

We leave forever this detested spot.

Go, Khalil, hurry all! No pause, no pause!

Whirl on the dream, secure to wake anon!

Kha. What sign? and who the bearer?

Dja. Who shall show

My ring, admit to Ayoob. How she stands!

Have I not ... I must have some task for her.
