Your blasted tongue. My husband sups again

To-morrow with the Jewish queen. They say

When Haman dines her majesty prepares

The banquet with her own most dainty hand!

Parshandatha, whose hand, think you, has laid

The feast of Adar?

Parshandatha

Zeresh! call you death

A feast!

Zeresh

Already feeds, and Esther shall be there!

Haman

Be seated at the table.

Citizens

Of Shushan, patriots of Persia, friends,

The servant of the king has called you here
