"He will perish before I go to him," cried the banker, enraged a second time. The guest drew an armchair to the couch, and slapped Dagon's thigh. "Dagon," said he, "have sense." "Why have I not sense, and why dost thou, Rabsun, not say to me worthiness?" "Dagon, be not foolish!" answered the guest. "If Thou wilt not go to him and he will not come to thee, how will ye do business?"
"Thou, Rabsun, shouldst sell dried fish and water on the streets, but not mix up in questions between states. An ox hoof rubbed in Egyptian mud has more sense than thou, though Thou 'art living five years in the capital of light! Oh that pigs might devour thee!" "Quiet! quiet!" called Hiram. "Ye do not let me finish." "Speak, for Thou art wise and my heart understands thee," said Rabsun.
"But there remain always to his holiness about two thousand very rich cities." "Has Typhon possessed thee?" roared Rabsun, in his turn. "Wilt Thou go now to counting the cities of the pharaoh, may he." "Pst!" whispered Dagon, springing up. "When misfortune is hanging over Phoenicia" finished Rabsun. "Let me but know what the misfortune is," interrupted Dagon.
In fact a number of Phoenicians, under the leadership of Rabsun, declared that, according to ancient custom they had made bold to lay an insignificant gift at the feet of the sovereign who gave life to them and security to their property. Then they placed on the tables gold plates, chains, and goblets filled with jewels.
After this terrible oath, which Hiram began, and the second half of which all shouted forth in voices trembling from rage, the three panting Phoenicians rested. After that Rabsun conducted them to a feast where with wine, music, and dancers they forgot for a time the work awaiting them. Not far from the city of Pi-Bast stood the temple of the goddess Hator.
