Hafi: She hath never
Claimed aught of what you lose; it lies with me.
While we wait the treasure out of Egypt,
Your sister hath maintained the state alone.
Saladin: Was there none else could lend me, save my sister?
Hafi: I know none such.
Sittah: What of thy friend, the Jew?
The town is ringing with the news of gems
And costly stuffs he hath brought home with him.
Hafi: He would not lend to Saladin. Ah, Prince,
He's envious of your generosity.
That is the Jew! I'll knock at other doors.

Scene II.—The place of palms. Daya and Recha with Nathan.
Daya: He's still beneath the palms.
Recha: Just one peep more.
