JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN
Wakara. So soon, after so weary a night—!
Zuleika. Fool! I am so much nearer the night to come!
Wakara. Let me make fast the curtains. Sleep, lady, sleep.
Zuleika. Let the curtains be! I will not sleep while he waketh.
Wakara. While he waketh—? The lord Potiphar—? Thy lord and lover?
Zuleika. [Watching Joseph, who is seen passing in the distance] Ay—my lover and my lord!
[Wakara slips out, L.; leaving Zuleika watching]
