Baruch
Jeremiah, if you love me, seek refuge in flight. I cannot bear that your life should be forfeited.
Jeremiah
No more love have I for anyone.
Baruch
[Embracing him] Nay, master, my blood rather than yours. I will die with you.
[Violent blows are struck on the door]
The Crowd
[Scattering into the darkest corners] Alas, alas.—The Chaldeans.—Our hour has come.—Jeremiah has brought disaster upon us.—Let us deliver him up.
