Saul |
Hast thou obey’d my orders, and destoy’d |
My mortal enemy, the son of Jesse? |
Jonathan |
Alas, my father! He your enemy? |
Say, rather, he has done important service |
To you, and to the nation; hazarded |
His life for both, and slain our giant foe, |
Whose presence made the boldest of us tremble. |
