    PHARAO



    Dein Herr, Dein Gott, Dein Leben!



    Der zornige Hohepriester...
    Es wird Zeit, daß ich mich mit Hanebsud treffe, um das weitere Vorgehen zu besprechen. Der Pharao wird es diesmal bereuen, mich und meine Prister vor dem gemeinen Volk bloßgestellt zu haben.

    Eine glückliche Tänzerin...
    Es war wirklich eine wunderbare Nacht. Der große Pharao ist auch ein großer Liebhaber. Ich glaube ich werde jetzt noch etwas Schlaf zu mir nehmen.

    Der besorgte Nilbauer...
    Oh nein, es ist schon wieder passiert - ich habe zum Zweiten Mal in dieser Woche verschlafen und werde zu spät kommen. Wenn der Nil auch diese Nacht wieder über unsere Dämme gestiegen ist, werde ich bestimmt ausgepeitscht. Ich muß sofort los, damit es nicht noch Schlimmer kommt...

    Ein guter Bürger
    Oh, welch' ein gelunges Fest, welch' ein Rausch der Sinne! Peshet versteht es wirklich, seine Gäste zu verwöhnen. Und diese entzückende kleine Tänzerin, ich werde Peshet bitten, mich mit ihr bekannt zu machen.
