THE DANCE TO DEATH.


Enter Prince William.

PRINCE WILLIAM.

Fatiher, you called me ?

LANDGRAVE.

Ay, when were you last
In Nordhausen ?

PRINCE WILLIAM.

This morning I rode hence.

LANDGRAVE.

Were you at Susskind's house ?

PRINCE WILLIAM.

I was, my liege.

LANDGRAVE.

I hear you entertain unseemly love
For the Jew's daughter.

PRINCE WILLIAM,

Who has told thee this ?

SCHNETZEN.

This I have told him.

PRINCE WILLIAM.

Father, believe him not.
I swear by heaven *tis no unseemly love
Leads me to Susskind's house.
