Upon terms well understood, I have laboured here.

I have kept my obligations, and it is thy duty to keep thy obligations, though the hand of death were on thee.

I know not what has poisoned thy mind, and driven thee from reason and from justice.

I know that, Prince Pasha of Egypt as thou art, thou art as bound to me as any fellah that agrees to tend my door or row my boat.

Thy compact with me is a compact with England, and it shall be kept, if thou art an honest man.
