"
I
fear
thee
not
,
"
replied
she
;
"
thanks
to
him
that
reared
this
dizzy
tower
so
high
,
that
nought
could
fall
from
it
and
live
--
thanks
to
him
,
and
to
the
God
of
Israel
!
--
I
fear
thee
not
.
"
"
Thou
dost
me
injustice
,
"
said
the
Templar
;
"
by
earth
,
sea
,
and
sky
,
thou
dost
me
injustice
!
I
am
not
naturally
that
which
you
have
seen
me
,
hard
,
selfish
,
and
relentless
.
It
was
woman
that
taught
me
cruelty
,
and
on
woman
therefore
I
have
exercised
it
;
but
not
upon
such
as
thou
.
Hear
me
,
Rebecca
--
Never
did
knight
take
lance
in
his
hand
with
a
heart
more
devoted
to
the
lady
of
his
love
than
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
.
She
,
the
daughter
of
a
petty
baron
,
who
boasted
for
all
his
domains
but
a
ruinous
tower
,
and
an
unproductive
vineyard
,
and
some
few
leagues
of
the
barren
Landes
of
Bourdeaux
,
her
name
was
known
wherever
deeds
of
arms
were
done
,
known
wider
than
that
of
many
a
lady
's
that
had
a
county
for
a
dowery
.
--
Yes
,
"
he
continued
,
pacing
up
and
down
the
little
platform
,
with
an
animation
in
which
he
seemed
to
lose
all
consciousness
of
Rebecca
's
presence
--
"
Yes
,
my
deeds
,
my
danger
,
my
blood
,
made
the
name
of
Adelaide
de
Montemare
known
from
the
court
of
Castile
to
that
of
Byzantium
.
And
how
was
I
requited
?
--
When
I
returned
with
my
dear-bought
honours
,
purchased
by
toil
and
blood
,
I
found
her
wedded
to
a
Gascon
squire
,
whose
name
was
never
heard
beyond
the
limits
of
his
own
paltry
domain
!
Truly
did
I
love
her
,
and
bitterly
did
I
revenge
me
of
her
broken
faith
!
But
my
vengeance
has
recoiled
on
myself
.
Since
that
day
I
have
separated
myself
from
life
and
its
ties
--
My
manhood
must
know
no
domestic
home
--
must
be
soothed
by
no
affectionate
wife
--
My
age
must
know
no
kindly
hearth
--
My
grave
must
be
solitary
,
and
no
offspring
must
outlive
me
,
to
bear
the
ancient
name
of
Bois-Guilbert
.
At
the
feet
of
my
Superior
I
have
laid
down
the
right
of
self-action
--
the
privilege
of
independence
.
The
Templar
,
a
serf
in
all
but
the
name
,
can
possess
neither
lands
nor
goods
,
and
lives
,
moves
,
and
breathes
,
but
at
the
will
and
pleasure
of
another
.
"
"
Alas
!
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
what
advantages
could
compensate
for
such
an
absolute
sacrifice
?
"
"
The
power
of
vengeance
,
Rebecca
,
"
replied
the
Templar
,
"
and
the
prospects
of
ambition
.
"
"
An
evil
recompense
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
for
the
surrender
of
the
rights
which
are
dearest
to
humanity
.
"
"
Say
not
so
,
maiden
,
"
answered
the
Templar
;
"
revenge
is
a
feast
for
the
gods
!
And
if
they
have
reserved
it
,
as
priests
tell
us
,
to
themselves
,
it
is
because
they
hold
it
an
enjoyment
too
precious
for
the
possession
of
mere
mortals
.
--
And
ambition
?
it
is
a
temptation
which
could
disturb
even
the
bliss
of
heaven
itself
.
"
--
He
paused
a
moment
,
and
then
added
,
"
Rebecca
!
she
who
could
prefer
death
to
dishonour
,
must
have
a
proud
and
a
powerful
soul
.
Mine
thou
must
be
!
--
Nay
,
start
not
,
"
he
added
,
"
it
must
be
with
thine
own
consent
,
and
on
thine
own
terms
.
Thou
must
consent
to
share
with
me
hopes
more
extended
than
can
be
viewed
from
the
throne
of
a
monarch
!
--
Hear
me
ere
you
answer
and
judge
ere
you
refuse
.
--
The
Templar
loses
,
as
thou
hast
said
,
his
social
rights
,
his
power
of
free
agency
,
but
he
becomes
a
member
and
a
limb
of
a
mighty
body
,
before
which
thrones
already
tremble
,
--
even
as
the
single
drop
of
rain
which
mixes
with
the
sea
becomes
an
individual
part
of
that
resistless
ocean
,
which
undermines
rocks
and
ingulfs
royal
armadas
.
Such
a
swelling
flood
is
that
powerful
league
.
Of
this
mighty
Order
I
am
no
mean
member
,
but
already
one
of
the
Chief
Commanders
,
and
may
well
aspire
one
day
to
hold
the
batoon
of
Grand
Master
.
The
poor
soldiers
of
the
Temple
will
not
alone
place
their
foot
upon
the
necks
of
kings
--
a
hemp-sandall
'd
monk
can
do
that
.
Our
mailed
step
shall
ascend
their
throne
--
our
gauntlet
shall
wrench
the
sceptre
from
their
gripe
.
Not
the
reign
of
your
vainly-expected
Messiah
offers
such
power
to
your
dispersed
tribes
as
my
ambition
may
aim
at
.
I
have
sought
but
a
kindred
spirit
to
share
it
,
and
I
have
found
such
in
thee
.
"
"
Sayest
thou
this
to
one
of
my
people
?
"
answered
Rebecca
.
"
Bethink
thee
--
"
"
Answer
me
not
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
"
by
urging
the
difference
of
our
creeds
;
within
our
secret
conclaves
we
hold
these
nursery
tales
in
derision
.
Think
not
we
long
remained
blind
to
the
idiotical
folly
of
our
founders
,
who
forswore
every
delight
of
life
for
the
pleasure
of
dying
martyrs
by
hunger
,
by
thirst
,
and
by
pestilence
,
and
by
the
swords
of
savages
,
while
they
vainly
strove
to
defend
a
barren
desert
,
valuable
only
in
the
eyes
of
superstition
.
