<c>Pharaoh
Why? What tidings
<c>Moses
I find no force what thou have meant,
For in my danger shall they dwell.
And, liar, for
They shall be put to pain.
<c>Pharaoh
Think you with tricks our law to sway?
Whence comes this warlock with his wand
<c>Moses
Both me and all his commandment.
"In
My wand", he said, by his assent,
And then you would be well advised
It shall turn into a serpent.
And in his holy name,
Here shall I lay it down.
These tricks for them shall nothing gain.
But worse, both morn and noon,
Shall they fare, for
<c>Moses
May God send vengeance soon;
May his wrath on
<d>Exit Moses to Goshen
<c>Egyptian Two
Moses, my lord has granted leave
To lead
So that we may mend us of our mischief.
<c>Moses
I
That shall full soon be seen.
For heartily I to him say:
<c>Pharaoh
How do they in Goshen,
The Jews?
<c>Egyptian Two
This
They feel no such affray.
<c>Egyptian One
My lord, this care will ever increase
<c>Counsellor One
Go; say we grant them leave to gang,
In the Devil's name, since it must be done
(For
<d>Egyptian One crosses to Goshen
And to pass am I pleased.
My friends, be of good cheer;
For at our will we now shall go,
To dwell within the Promised Land.
<c>Youth Two
My Lord, loved may
<c>Youth Three
Till we be went, right as a wall.
Therefore, have no dread;
<c>Youth One
<c>Pharaoh
<c>Egyptian One
The
<c>Pharaoh
Horse, harness take that they be ta'en.
This riot they shall swiftly rue.
We shall not cease before they're slain;
