Read
the
ancient
history
of
the
people
of
God
,
and
tell
me
if
those
,
by
whom
Jehovah
wrought
such
marvels
among
the
nations
,
were
then
a
people
of
misers
and
of
usurers
!
--
And
know
,
proud
knight
,
we
number
names
amongst
us
to
which
your
boasted
northern
nobility
is
as
the
gourd
compared
with
the
cedar
--
names
that
ascend
far
back
to
those
high
times
when
the
Divine
Presence
shook
the
mercy-seat
between
the
cherubim
,
and
which
derive
their
splendour
from
no
earthly
prince
,
but
from
the
awful
Voice
,
which
bade
their
fathers
be
nearest
of
the
congregation
to
the
Vision
--
Such
were
the
princes
of
the
House
of
Jacob
.
"
Rebecca
's
colour
rose
as
she
boasted
the
ancient
glories
of
her
race
,
but
faded
as
she
added
,
with
at
sigh
,
"
Such
WERE
the
princes
of
Judah
,
now
such
no
more
!
--
They
are
trampled
down
like
the
shorn
grass
,
and
mixed
with
the
mire
of
the
ways
.
Yet
are
there
those
among
them
who
shame
not
such
high
descent
,
and
of
such
shall
be
the
daughter
of
Isaac
the
son
of
Adonikam
!
Farewell
!
--
I
envy
not
thy
blood-won
honours
--
I
envy
not
thy
barbarous
descent
from
northern
heathens
--
I
envy
thee
not
thy
faith
,
which
is
ever
in
thy
mouth
,
but
never
in
thy
heart
nor
in
thy
practice
.
"
"
There
is
a
spell
on
me
,
by
Heaven
!
"
said
Bois-Guilbert
.
"
I
almost
think
yon
besotted
skeleton
spoke
truth
,
and
that
the
reluctance
with
which
I
part
from
thee
hath
something
in
it
more
than
is
natural
.
--
Fair
creature
!
"
he
said
,
approaching
near
her
,
but
with
great
respect
,
--
"
so
young
,
so
beautiful
,
so
fearless
of
death
!
and
yet
doomed
to
die
,
and
with
infamy
and
agony
.
Who
would
not
weep
for
thee
?
--
The
tear
,
that
has
been
a
stranger
to
these
eyelids
for
twenty
years
,
moistens
them
as
I
gaze
on
thee
.
But
it
must
be
--
nothing
may
now
save
thy
life
.
Thou
and
I
are
but
the
blind
instruments
of
some
irresistible
fatality
,
that
hurries
us
along
,
like
goodly
vessels
driving
before
the
storm
,
which
are
dashed
against
each
other
,
and
so
perish
.
Forgive
me
,
then
,
and
let
us
part
,
at
least
,
as
friends
part
.
I
have
assailed
thy
resolution
in
vain
,
and
mine
own
is
fixed
as
the
adamantine
decrees
of
fate
.
"
"
Thus
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
do
men
throw
on
fate
the
issue
of
their
own
wild
passions
.
But
I
do
forgive
thee
,
Bois-Guilbert
,
though
the
author
of
my
early
death
.
There
are
noble
things
which
cross
over
thy
powerful
mind
;
but
it
is
the
garden
of
the
sluggard
,
and
the
weeds
have
rushed
up
,
and
conspired
to
choke
the
fair
and
wholesome
blossom
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
"
I
am
,
Rebecca
,
as
thou
hast
spoken
me
,
untaught
,
untamed
--
and
proud
,
that
,
amidst
a
shoal
of
empty
fools
and
crafty
bigots
,
I
have
retained
the
preeminent
fortitude
that
places
me
above
them
.
I
have
been
a
child
of
battle
from
my
youth
upward
,
high
in
my
views
,
steady
and
inflexible
in
pursuing
them
.
Such
must
I
remain
--
proud
,
inflexible
,
and
unchanging
;
and
of
this
the
world
shall
have
proof
.
--
But
thou
forgivest
me
,
Rebecca
?
"
"
As
freely
as
ever
victim
forgave
her
executioner
.
"
"
Farewell
,
then
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
and
left
the
apartment
.
The
Preceptor
Albert
waited
impatiently
in
an
adjacent
chamber
the
return
of
Bois-Guilbert
.
"
Thou
hast
tarried
long
,
"
he
said
;
"
I
have
been
as
if
stretched
on
red-hot
iron
with
very
impatience
.
What
if
the
Grand
Master
,
or
his
spy
Conrade
,
had
come
hither
?
I
had
paid
dear
for
my
complaisance
.
--
But
what
ails
thee
,
brother
?
--
Thy
step
totters
,
thy
brow
is
as
black
as
night
.
Art
thou
well
,
Bois-Guilbert
?
"
