King of Four Countries:
Most generous Queen... indeed... Queen: But you will not leave my banquet and go unfriendly away. King of Four Countries: No, Queen... [He drinks.] Queen: [she looks at the Twin Dukes amiably] All Ethiopia shall be yours, down to the unknown kingdoms of the beasts. 1st Duke of Ethiopia: Queen. 2nd Duke of Ethiopia: Queen. We drink to the glory of your throne. Queen: Stay then and feast with me. For not to have enemies is the beggar's joy; and I have looked from windows long and long, envying those that go their way in rags. Stay with me, dukes and princes. |
