| DEVIL (to SAIDA). | |||
| Haste thee! Haste thee! | |||
| Use thy cunning! | |||
| Do not waste the | |||
| Hours that fly! | |||
| Time is running, | |||
| Night is waning; Use thy feigning, |
|||
| Dawn is nigh! | |||
| LAINE and JOAN. | |||
| 'Tis her beauty doth ensnare him; | |||
| Naught he hears of all we say! | |||
| Lady, then in pity spare him, | |||
| Speak, oh, speak, and bid him stay! | |||
| SAIDA (to SIMON). | |||
| Weaver, hear me — | |||
| Wouldst thou wander | |||
| Ever near me | |||
| Till the day, | |||
| Rising yonder, | |||
| Through the gloaming, Finds thee roaming |
|||
| Far away? | |||
| LAINE and JOAN. | |||
| See those eyes his eyes enchaining | |||
| Nothing now his heart can stir; | |||
| Naught he recks of our complaining, | |||
| All his thought is bent on her! | |||
| SIMON (to SAIDA). | |||
| Onward! Onward! | |||
| I will follow, | |||
| Seaward, sunward, | |||
| Still thy slave; | |||
| Though the hollow | |||
| Earth should sunder, Though the thunder |
|||
| Roar and rave! | |||
| SAIDA. | LAINE. | JOAN. | SIMON. | THE DEVIL. |

SAIDA goes out the door, drawing SIMON after her with an enticing look. JOAN and
LAINE would follow, but the DEVIL, laughingly, wards them back and closes the door
in their faces. There is a final peal of thunder.
End of Scene 2.
