KODAMA--Allah!

(_Halima enters C. She rushes to Kodama._)

HALIMA--Thou hast killed him!

KODAMA--The babbling fool, to think he could steal thee from me.

HALIMA--(_Whispering._) Thou hast killed him.

KODAMA--Go to thy women.

HALIMA--Bring him back.

KODAMA--Peace.

HALIMA--Bring him back.

KODAMA--Peace, peace, I say.

HALIMA--Oh, Sindibad, my love.

KODAMA--Love!

HALIMA--Thou snarling camel, hast thou lost thine ears? Age has dried thy bones, and turned thy blood to dust. I'll none of thee.

KODAMA--(_Claps hands. Slave appears L._) Bring him here. Go!

(_Slave carries in the body of Sindibad, and puts it on the dais. Halima sinks beside it with a little cry of distress._)

HALIMA--He was Allah's shadow upon the earth. Thou canst buy a woman, but not hold her. Let me go with him.

KODAMA--Oh, amber pools where men may find oblivion, close ... close (_chokes her._)

(_The body falls beside Sindibad's._)

KODAMA--Allah has left no calamity more hurtful to man than woman. It was written in the stars. (_To Slave._) Bring the women. Let music be played, and let there be dancing.

(_Slaves and attendants enter, and there is music._)

KODAMA--(_To the body of Sindibad._) Dost hear the music for thy wedding feast? Thou art dead, honey babbler, and gone to the desert of forgotten desires. Thou art dead!

(_Slave dances. As dance ends, Kodama's slave kneels before him._)

SLAVE--Master, thou hast killed a true believer.

KODAMA--I have killed--

SLAVE--In mistake, oh master.

KODAMA--And art thou a true believer?

SLAVE--Even as thou sayest.

KODAMA--Then I make thee free that the blood-wit be paid! Go forth, thou art free! (_Suddenly and hoa.r.s.ely to the musicians._) Break your lutes!

(_Music stops._) Let there be lamentations! This is a house of sorrow!
