ISA. (in going off) The ground is slippery life! Myself! myself! I could not bear thou Heavens! it is floated with blood! shouldst know-Oh! (Dies.)

[Exit into the sacristy. Ron. (apart to BERTRAM.) Whom dost thou mean to call? [BERTRAM whispers. Ron. This goes beyond me. (After a moment's thought.) But be it so. Maltingen shall behold Aspen humbled in the dust. (Aloud.) Brethren, the accuser calls for a witness who remains without: admit him. [All muffle their faces. Enter RUDIGER, his eyes bound or covered, leaning upon two members; they place a stool for him, and unbind his eyes.

ROD. Knowest thou where thou art, and before w.com?

RUD. I know not, and I care not. Two strangers summoned me from my castle to assist, they said, at a great act of justice. I ascended the litter they brought, and I am here.

Ron. It regards the punishment of perjury and the discovery of murder. Art thou willing to assist us?

RUD. Most willing, as is my duty.

Rop. What if the crime regard thy friend? Rep. I will hold him no longer so. Rop. What if thine own blood? RUD. I would let it out with my poniard. Ron. Then canst thou not blame us for this deed of justice. Remove the pall. (The pall is lifted, beneath which is discovered the body of GEORGE, pale and bloody. RUDIGER staggers towards it.)

RUD. My George! my George! Not slain manly in battle, but murdered by legal assassins. Much, much may I mourn thee, my beloved boy; but not now-not now: never will I shed a tear for thy death till I have cleared thy fame.-Hear me, ye midnight murderers, he was innocent (raising his voice)-upright as the truth itself. Let the man who dares gainsay me lift that gage. If the Almighty does not strengthen these frail limbs, to make good a father's quarrel, I have a son left, who will vindicate the honor of Aspen, or lay his bloody body beside his brother's.

ROD. Rash and insensate! Hear first the cause. Hear the dishonor of thy house.

ISA. (from the sacristy.) Never shall he hear it till the author is no more! (RUDIGER attempts to rush owards the sacristy, but is prevented. ISABELLA exters wounded, and throws herself on GEORGE'S body.)

ISA. Murdered for me-for me! my dear, dear son!

RUD. (still held.) Cowardly villains, let me loose! Maltingen, this is thy doing! Thy face thou wouldst disguise, thy deeds thou canst not! I defy thee to instant and mortal combat!

RUD. Oh! let me go-let me but try to stop het blood, and I will forgive all.

ROD. Drag him off and detain him. The voice of lamentation must not disturb the stern deliber ation of justice.

RUD. Bloodhound of Maltingen! Well beseems thee thy base revenge! The marks of my son's lance are still on thy craven crest! Vengeance on the band of ye!

[RUDIGER is dragged off to the sacristy. Ron. Brethren, we stand discovered! What is to be done to him who shall descry our mystery? ELDEST JUDGE. He must become a brother of our order, or die!

ROD. This man will never join us! He cannot put his hand into ours, which are stained with the blood of his wife and son: he must therefore die! (Murmurs in the assembly.) Brethren! I wonder not at your reluctance; but the man is powerful, has friends and allies to buckler hi ause. It is over with us, and with our order, unless the laws are obeyed. (Fainter murmurs.) Besides, have we not sworn a deadly oath to execute these statutes? (A dead silence.) Take to thee the steel and the cord (to the eldest judge.)

ELDEST JUDGE. He has done no evil-he was the companion of my battle-I will not!

Ron. (to another.) Do thou-and succeed to the rank of him who has disobeyed. Remember your oath! (Member takes the dagger, and goes irresolutely forward; looks into the sacristy, and comes back.)

MEM. He has fainted-fainted in anguish for his wife and his son, the bloody ground is strewed with his white hairs, torn by those hands that have fought for Christendom. I will not be your butcher. (Throws down the dagger.)

BER. Irresolute and perjured! the robber of my inheritance, the author of my exile, shall die! ROD. Thanks, Bertram. Execute the doomsecure the safety of the holy tribunal!

[BERTRAM seizes the dagger, and is about to rush into the sacristy, when three loud knocks are heard at the door.

ALL. Hold! Hold!

[The Duke of BAVARIA, attended by many
members of the Invisible Tribunal, enters,
dressed in a scarlet mantle trimmed with
ermine, and wearing a ducal crown.—
-He
carries a rod in his hand. All rise.—A
murmur among the members, who whisper
to each other, "The Duke," "The Chief,"
&c.

ROD. The Duke of Bavaria! I am lost.
DUKE. (sees the bodies.) I am too late-the vie

Isa. (looking up.) No! no! endanger not thy tims 1♬ e fallen.

[blocks in formation]

ROD. Lord Duke, thou hast charged me with treachery-thou art my liege lord--but who else dares maintain the accusation, lies in his threat.

HEN. (rushing from the sacristy.) Villain! I acept thy challenge!

ROD. Vain boy! my lance shall chastise thee in the lists-there lies my gage.

DUKE. Henry, on thy allegiance, touch it not. (To RODERIC.) Lists shalt thou never more enter; lance shalt thou never more wield (draws kis sword.) With this sword wast thou dubbed a knight; with this sword I dishonor thee-I thy

ROD. Chief among our circles, I have but acted prince-(strikes him slightly with the flat of the according to our laws.

DUKE. Thou hast indeed observed the letter of our statutes, and woe am I that they do warrant this night's bloody work! I cannot do unto thee as I would, but what I can I will. Thou hast not indeed transgressed our law, but thou hast wrested and abused it: kneel down, therefore, and place thy hands betwixt mine. (RODERIC kneels as directed.) I degrade thee from thy sacred office (spreads his hands, as pushing RODERIC from him.) If after two days thou darest to pollute Bavarian ground by thy footsteps, be it at the peril of the steel and the cord (RODERIC rises.) I dissolve this meeting (all rise.) Judges and condemners of others, God teach you knowledge of yourselves! (All bend their heads-Duke breaks his rod, and comes forward.)

sword)-I take from thee the degree of knight, the diguity of chivalry. Thou art no longer a free German noble; thou art honorless and rightless; the funeral obsequies shall be performed for thee as for one dead to knightly honor and to fair fame; thy spurs shall be hacked from thy heels; thy arms baffled and reversed by the common executioner. Go, fraudful and dishonored, hide thy shame in a foreign land! (RODERIC shows a dumb expression of rage.) Lay hands on Bertram of Ebersdorf: as I live, he shall pay the forfeiture of his outlawry. Henry, aid us to remove thy father from this charnel-house. Never shall he know the dreadful secret. Be it mine to soothe his sorrows, and to restore the honor of the House of Aspen.

(Curtain slowly falls.)
