THE DANCE TO DEATH.
PRIOR.
And his child?
NORDMANN.
His child was saved.
PRIOR.
By whom ?
NORDMANN.
By the same Jew
Who had betrayed the Castle.
PRIOR.
Süsskind von Orb ?
NOBDMANN.
Süsskind von Orb! and Schnetzen's daughter lives
As the Jew's child within the Judengasse.
PRIOR (eagerly).
What proof hast thou of this ?
NORDMANN.
Proof of these eyes I
I visited von Orb to ask a loan.
There saw I such a maiden as no Jew
Was ever blessed withal since Jesus died.
