Djabal's accomplice, Loys called, but now,

The only Druse, save Djabal's self, to fear?

[To the Druses.] I cannot hear ye with these aged ears;

Is it so? Ye would have my troops assist?

Doth he abet him in his sorceries?

Down with the cheat, guards, as my children bid!

[They spring at Khalil; as he beats them back.

Stay! No more bloodshed! Spare deluded youth!

Whom seek'st thou? (I will teach him)—whom, my child?

Thou know'st not what these know, what these declare.
