ACT III SCENE I The Garden of the CALIPH's palace: in front of a pavilion. The CALIPH: HASSAN in fine raiment, a sword of honour at his side. CALIPH Yes, what the chief Eunuch told you is all true, my Hassan. Our late host, the King of the Beggars, was captured hiding in the gutter of his roof. This evening I shall judge him and his crew in full divan. And in the divan thou shalt appear, O Hassan, clothed in thy robe of ceremony, and seated on my right hand. |
