As
if
thou
hadst
any
other
reason
for
that
,
Waldemar
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
than
the
promotion
of
thine
own
individual
interest
?
Come
,
Fitzurse
,
we
know
each
other
--
ambition
is
thy
pursuit
,
pleasure
is
mine
,
and
they
become
our
different
ages
.
Of
Prince
John
thou
thinkest
as
I
do
;
that
he
is
too
weak
to
be
a
determined
monarch
,
too
tyrannical
to
be
an
easy
monarch
,
too
insolent
and
presumptuous
to
be
a
popular
monarch
,
and
too
fickle
and
timid
to
be
long
a
monarch
of
any
kind
.
But
he
is
a
monarch
by
whom
Fitzurse
and
De
Bracy
hope
to
rise
and
thrive
;
and
therefore
you
aid
him
with
your
policy
,
and
I
with
the
lances
of
my
Free
Companions
.
"
"
A
hopeful
auxiliary
,
"
said
Fitzurse
impatiently
;
"
playing
the
fool
in
the
very
moment
of
utter
necessity
.
--
What
on
earth
dost
thou
purpose
by
this
absurd
disguise
at
a
moment
so
urgent
?
"
"
To
get
me
a
wife
,
"
answered
De
Bracy
coolly
,
"
after
the
manner
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
.
"
"
The
tribe
of
Benjamin
?
"
said
Fitzurse
;
"
I
comprehend
thee
not
.
"
"
Wert
thou
not
in
presence
yester-even
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
when
we
heard
the
Prior
Aymer
tell
us
a
tale
in
reply
to
the
romance
which
was
sung
by
the
Minstrel
?
--
He
told
how
,
long
since
in
Palestine
,
a
deadly
feud
arose
between
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
and
the
rest
of
the
Israelitish
nation
;
and
how
they
cut
to
pieces
well-nigh
all
the
chivalry
of
that
tribe
;
and
how
they
swore
by
our
blessed
Lady
,
that
they
would
not
permit
those
who
remained
to
marry
in
their
lineage
;
and
how
they
became
grieved
for
their
vow
,
and
sent
to
consult
his
holiness
the
Pope
how
they
might
be
absolved
from
it
;
and
how
,
by
the
advice
of
the
Holy
Father
,
the
youth
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
carried
off
from
a
superb
tournament
all
the
ladies
who
were
there
present
,
and
thus
won
them
wives
without
the
consent
either
of
their
brides
or
their
brides
'
families
.
"
"
I
have
heard
the
story
,
"
said
Fitzurse
,
"
though
either
the
Prior
or
thou
has
made
some
singular
alterations
in
date
and
circumstances
.
"
"
I
tell
thee
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
that
I
mean
to
purvey
me
a
wife
after
the
fashion
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
;
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
that
in
this
same
equipment
I
will
fall
upon
that
herd
of
Saxon
bullocks
,
who
have
this
night
left
the
castle
,
and
carry
off
from
them
the
lovely
Rowena
.
"
"
Art
thou
mad
,
De
Bracy
?
"
said
Fitzurse
.
"
Bethink
thee
that
,
though
the
men
be
Saxons
,
they
are
rich
and
powerful
,
and
regarded
with
the
more
respect
by
their
countrymen
,
that
wealth
and
honour
are
but
the
lot
of
few
of
Saxon
descent
.
"
"
And
should
belong
to
none
,
"
said
De
Bracy
;
"
the
work
of
the
Conquest
should
be
completed
.
"
"
This
is
no
time
for
it
at
least
,
"
said
Fitzurse
"
the
approaching
crisis
renders
the
favour
of
the
multitude
indispensable
,
and
Prince
John
can
not
refuse
justice
to
any
one
who
injures
their
favourites
.
