Scene 2 - In the House of the Ishmaelites
The Father of the Family
Great God! What distress!
Let us hurry to help them!
Daughters and sons, and servants,
show the goodness of our hearts!
Wash the wounds of their bruised feet!
Give them water, give them milk, ripe grapes!
make ready at once
a bed for the child!
Chorus
Give them water, give them milk, ripe grapes!
Let us make ready at once
a bed for the child!
