] ANSELM. A Jew?
AHASUERUS [bitterly]. "Dog Jew, " they call me.
ANSELM. God forbid! Yet once I would have scorned thee like the rest. But, long years past, before I sought these walls, Adventurous I rode into the East And underneath the walls of Joppa fell A victim to the fever. Many days I lingered in its grasp, and when I woke To strength, I found a Jew had tended me. E'en then I scorned him, but with gentle words He heaped great coals of fire on my head. And then I dreamed a dream--upon a c...ross-- Two other crosses near--outlined against A dark and dreadful sky, I saw a man; And lo, it was a Jew--Christ was a Jew. With tears I sought mine host, and told the tale, And he was swift to pardon--he, a Jew.
[AHASUERUS will not trust himself to reply, but gazes steadfastly intothe fire. From the adjacent chapel the low notes of an organ fall upontheir ears. ] ANSELM. You speak not. Ah, I wonder not at it. On such a night is meditation good, And soothing to the soul. The wind is high But cannot harm; the torches flicker low, While softly like a benediction falls The distant melody upon our ears; And in the silent watches of the night God's holy Spirit broods o'er all the world And bringeth calm and peace to all mankind.
