KING. Take her and carry her away.
RACHEL (as ESTHER approaches her).
No, no!
They're seizing me, they're leading me away
To kill me!
(Pointing to her discarded finery.)
See, my ransom. Here will I
Remain a while and take a little sleep.
(Laying her cheek against the KING's knee.)
Here safety is; and here 'tis good to rest.
QUEEN. Will you not go?
KING. You see that I am caught.
QUEEN. If you are caught, I still am free, I go!
