Lut. Is this indeed the truth?

Dar.It is indeed.

Obedient to our queen’s command, we have

Subdued our natural antipathies.

Zay. They are our guests, all odious though they be,

(Takes Phyllon’s hand.)

And we must bid them welcome to our home,

As if e’en now they were what they will be

When they have seen what we shall be to them. (Kissing his hand.)

Lut. Be warned in time, and send these mortals hence;
