An. Where?—to the Druses thou hast wronged! Confess,

Now that the end is gained—(I love thee now—)

That thou hast so deceived them—(perchance love thee

Better than ever!) Come, receive their doom

Of infamy! Oh, best of all I love thee!

Shame with the man, no triumph with the God,

Be mine! Come!

Dja. Never! More shame yet? and why?

Why? You have called this deed mine—it is mine!

And with it I accept its circumstance.
