Well

,

friend

,

"

said

the

Abbot

,

peevishly

,

"

thou

art

ill

to

please

with

thy

woodcraft

.

I

pray

thee

be

more

conformable

in

this

matter

of

my

ransom

.

At

a

word

--

since

I

must

needs

,

for

once

,

hold

a

candle

to

the

devil

--

what

ransom

am

I

to

pay

for

walking

on

Watling-street

,

without

having

fifty

men

at

my

back

?

"

"

Were

it

not

well

,

"

said

the

Lieutenant

of

the

gang

apart

to

the

Captain

,

"

that

the

Prior

should

name

the

Jew

's

ransom

,

and

the

Jew

name

the

Prior

's

?

"

"

Thou

art

a

mad

knave

,

"

said

the

Captain

,

"

but

thy

plan

transcends

!

--

Here

,

Jew

,

step

forth

--

Look

at

that

holy

Father

Aymer

,

Prior

of

the

rich

Abbey

of

Jorvaulx

,

and

tell

us

at

what

ransom

we

should

hold

him

?

--

Thou

knowest

the

income

of

his

convent

,

I

warrant

thee

.

O

,

assuredly

,

"

said

Isaac

.

"

I

have

trafficked

with

the

good

fathers

,

and

bought

wheat

and

barley

,

and

fruits

of

the

earth

,

and

also

much

wool

.

O

,

it

is

a

rich

abbey-stede

,

and

they

do

live

upon

the

fat

,

and

drink

the

sweet

wines

upon

the

lees

,

these

good

fathers

of

Jorvaulx

.

Ah

,

if

an

outcast

like

me

had

such

a

home

to

go

to

,

and

such

incomings

by

the

year

and

by

the

month

,

I

would

pay

much

gold

and

silver

to

redeem

my

captivity

.

"

"

Hound

of

a

Jew

!

"

exclaimed

the

Prior

,

"

no

one

knows

better

than

thy

own

cursed

self

,

that

our

holy

house

of

God

is

indebted

for

the

finishing

of

our

chancel

--

"

"

And

for

the

storing

of

your

cellars

in

the

last

season

with

the

due

allowance

of

Gascon

wine

,

"

interrupted

the

Jew

;

"

but

that

--

that

is

small

matters

.

Hear

the

infidel

dog

!

"

said

the

churchman

;

"

he

jangles

as

if

our

holy

community

did

come

under

debts

for

the

wines

we

have

a

license

to

drink

,

propter

necessitatem

,

et

ad

frigus

depellendum

.

The

circumcised

villain

blasphemeth

the

holy

church

,

and

Christian

men

listen

and

rebuke

him

not

!

"

"

All

this

helps

nothing

,

"

said

the

leader

.

--

"

Isaac

,

pronounce

what

he

may

pay

,

without

flaying

both

hide

and

hair

.

"

"

An

six

hundred

crowns

,

"

said

Isaac

,

"

the

good

Prior

might

well

pay

to

your

honoured

valours

,

and

never

sit

less

soft

in

his

stall

.
