SCENE 2.
Inside the Death Star.
Enter GRAND MOFF TARKIN and DARTH VADER.
TARKIN
Now have they gone? The rebels truly fled?
VADER
They have—e’en now—the jump to light speed made.
TARKIN
And thou art sure—I prithee, say thou art—
The homing beacon safe aboard the ship
Hath placèd been? I fear this risk’s unwise.
VADER
The risk and homing beacon both have been
Well plac’d. Thou, Tarkin, be assur’d thereon.
’Tis well, good friend, I trust thy word herein,
Yet would I have thee know what danger’s here:
While I have risk’d the world to let them flee,
Since thou dost reassure, the risk’s on thee.
[Exeunt.
