To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
we are starving. Bread, or we must die !
A WOMAN Just one poor wheaten loaf since yesterday For three of us ! In mercy's name, a crust ! My little Ruth is dying !
LAMECH Woman, peace !
'T is better so. I saw our Rachel die, Our last born ewe lamb, and I shed no tear, Knowing that hunger could not grieve her more.
So weep not thou.
ELIKA My bosom aches for thee, Beneath this breastplate.
VOICES Water ! water ! bread !
NATHAN, apart With fire and sword and famine, evil days Have fallen upon us ! ...What is happening ?
SCENE I JUDITH OF BETHULIA 31 A perceptible new commotion in the crowd, then a sud- den hush as Joachim enters in haste.
JOACHIM, excitedly Two minutes since, as I was pondering The famished folk that haunt the market-place, Where one had fallen, smitten with the pest, A woman swept me by if 't was indeed A woman, not an angel in a blaze Of gems and snowy raiment. Such a shape Comes to men's dreams. Along the crowded streets Thin, pleading hands reached out to touch her hem, Rude archers doffed their head-gear as she passed, And all the people stood amazed, as though 'T was some seraphic creature sent of God To save us in our misery.
