Nathan: Your suit, young man,
Must be considered calmly. Give me time
To know your lineage and your character.
A parent must be careful of his child.

[Enter Daya.

Daya: The sultan sends for thee in haste.

Nathan: I'll go.
Knight, take it not amiss.

Templar: I'll quit you first.
Farewell! [Exit.

Nathan: 'Tis not alone my Leonard's walk,
But even his stature and his very voice.
Filnek and Stauffen—I will soon know more.

Scene III.—A room in Nathan's house. Recha and Daya. A slave shows in the Templar.

Recha: 'Tis he, my saviour! Ah!

Templar: Thou best of beings,
How is my soul 'twixt eye and ear divided.

Recha: Well, knight, why thus refuse to look at me?
