SEVENTH SCENE.
Archibald Alexander translation
ILDIBAD. BISHOP AGILA (tottering in with exhaustion and excitement).
Ildibad.
Wilt thou not be seated, most worthy lord?
Bishop.
And goest thou not to hear what the King saith?
Ildibad.
That hath naught to do with me, most worthy lord. The King and I--for a long time, we are united in action.
Bishop.
Verily, he standeth there like the angel of death.
Ildibad.
Whether angel or devil, it is the same for me. (The shout of enthusiasm rises anew and approaches the tent.)
