As he unlocked the massy gate of the burial-place, he heard behind him the trampling of a horse; and before he had again secured the entrance, some one shouted to him. He looked up, and recognised the youthful and voluptuous Alschiroch, the governor of the city, and brother of the sultan of the Seljuks.
'He is handsomer than Alschiroch, said Rachel. 'What a shawl! said Beruna. 'His scimitar was like lightning, said Leah. 'And his steed like thunder, said Imra. 'The evil eye fall on him! said Bathsheba. 'Lord, exclaimed Miriam, 'remember David and all his afflictions!
'Away, Abner, this affair is mine. 'Prince, you have already slain your thousands. 'And Abner his tens of thousands. Is it so? This business is for me only. Come on, Turk. 'Art thou Alroy? 'The same. 'The slayer of Alschiroch? 'Even so. 'A rebel and a murderer. 'What you please. Look to yourself. The Hebrew Prince flung a javelin at the Seljuk.
Me-thinks the Lord is with him. He has his great father's heart. Only think of David, a child! I nursed him, often. Caleb! Can this be David, our David, a child, a girl? Yet he struck Alschiroch! Miriam! where is she? Worthy Caleb, look to your mistress; she has fallen. Quite gone! Fetch water. 'Tis not very pure, but we shall be in our palace soon. The harem of the Governor! I can't believe it.
Pallid and mad, he swift upsprang, and he tore up a tree by its lusty roots, and down the declivity, dashing with rapid leaps, panting and wild, he struck the ravisher on the temple with the mighty pine. Alschiroch fell lifeless on the sod, and Miriam fainting into her brother's arms.
But that we are already late, and this horse is like an untamed tiger, I would impale him on the spot. Speak to the dog, Mustapha! manage him! 'Worthy Hebrew, said the silky Mustapha, advancing, 'apparently you are not aware that this is our Lord Alschiroch.
'Uncle, dearest uncle, we have lived together, and we will die together, and both in love; but, I pray you, speak no harsh word of David. 'Shall I praise him? 'Say nothing. What he has done, if done in grief, has been done all in honour. Would you that he had spared Alschiroch? 'Never! I would have struck him myself.
