The Blood of Rachel, a Dramatization of Esther, and Other Poems
You do not know.

Parshandatha

Madam, he often dines

With Esther and the king. The king no doubt

Is very fond of your most gracious lord.

[23]

Zeresh

The king!

Parshandatha

Mayhap the queen also. Your lord

Is young and handsome still. The king is far

Beyond the queen in years.

Zeresh

I can

Not catch your drift.

Parshandatha

Madam, your husband has

A ready wit. The queen enjoys life.

Zeresh

Enjoys life!
