MOSES<br />
A steel to break his manacles : hard for us<br />
Moses has made him overseer. O, his slits<br />
sell to Imra. . . .<br />
Pry —<br />
pry. . . . For what ? . . . To<br />
Sh !<br />
[Aisinoah is seen approaching:]<br />
thin-lipped abomination !<br />
Zig-zagging haschish tours in a fine style<br />
It were delightful labour making bricks,<br />
Knowing they would kiss friendly with his head.<br />
Abixoah<br />
[ Who has been taking haschish ; and who has one<br />
obsession, hatred of Jews.]<br />
Dirt-draggled mongrels, circumcised slaves,<br />
You puddle with your lousy gibberish<br />
The holy air, Pharaoh's own tributary :<br />
Filthy manure for Pharaoh's flourishing,<br />
circumcise and make holy your tongues,<br />
I'll<br />
And stop one outlet to your profanation.<br />
[To the<br />
Old Hebrew.]<br />
IVe never seen one beg so for a blow ;<br />
Too soft am I to resist such entreaty.<br />
[Beats him.]<br />
Your howling holds the earnest energies<br />
You cheat from Pharaoh when you make his bricks.<br />
