PRIOR.

I thank the Saints that this has come betimes.

Thou shalt renounce thy hate. Vengeance is mine,

The Lord hath said.

NORDMANN.

O all-transforming Time!

Is this meek, saintly-hypocrite, the firm,

Ambitious, resolute Reinhard Peppercorn,

Terror of Jews and beacon of the Church?

Look, you, I have won the special grace of Christ,

He knows through what fierce anguish! Now he leans

Out of his heaven to whisper in mine ear,

And reach me my revenge. He makes my cause

His own—and I shall fail upon these heights,

Sink from the level of a hate sublime,

To puerile pity!
