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.
