And now it seems that Esther's fate was sealed When Haman wrote that every Jew must die Because the Hebrew Mordecai refused Obeisance to his over-bearing pride. Smerdis Watch Esther smash that seal. Ahafid I did not hear. Smerdis [Louder.] Still quoting lines upon the innocence Of lustrous stars, and dawn of dew-washed day.
