ELDEST JUDGE. (from behind the scene.) Dost thou forgive me?

GEO. (behind.) I do! (He is heard to fall heavily.)
[Re-enter the old judge from the sacristy.
He lays on the altar the bloody dagger.
ROD. Hast thou done thy duty?
ELDEST MEM. I have. (He faints.)
ROD. He swoons. Remove him.

[He is assisted off the stage. During this
four members enter the sacristy, and
bring out a bier covered with a pall,'
which they place on the steps of the altar.
A deep silence.

ROD. Judges of evil, dooming in secret, and avenging in secret, like the Deity: God keep your thoughts from evil, and your hands from guilt.

BER. I raise my voice in this assembly, and cry, Vengeance! vengeance! vengeance!

ROD. Enough has this night been done-(he rises and brings BERTRAM forward.) Think what thou doest--George has fallen-it were murder to slay both mother and son.

BER. George of Aspen was thy victim-a sacrifice to thy hatred and envy. I claim mine, sacred to justice and to my murdered brother. Resume thy place-thou canst not stop the rock thou hast put in motion.

ROD. (resumes his seat.) Upon whom callest thou for vengeance?

BER. Upon Isabella of Aspen.

ROD. She has been summoned. HERALD. Isabella of Aspen, accused of murder by poison, I charge thee to appear, and stand upon thy defence.

[Three knocks are heard at one of the doors-it is opened by the warder.

Enter ISABELLA, the veil still wrapped around her head, led by her conductor. All the members muffle their faces.

Ron. Isabella of Aspen, thou hast heard thy ac cusation What canst thou answer?

ISA. That the oath of an accuser is no proof of guilt!

ROD. Hast thou more to say?
ISA. I have.

ROD. Speak on.

ISA. Judges invisible to the sun, and seen only by the stars of midnight! I stand before you, a cused of an enormous, daring, and premeditated crime. I was married to Arnolf when I was only eighteen years old. Arnolf was wary and jealous; ever suspecting me without a cause, unless it was because he had injured me. How then should I plan and perpetrate such a deed? The lamb turns not against the wolf, though a prisoner in his den. ROD. Have you finished?

ISA. A moment. Years after years have elapsed without a whisper of this foul suspicion Arnolf left a brother! though common fame had been silent, natural affection would have been heard against me—why spoke he not my accusation! Or has my conduct justified this horrible charge! No! awful judges, I may answer, I have founded cloisters, I have endowed hospitals. The goods that Heaven bestowed on me I have not held back from the needy. I appeal to you, judges of evil, can these proofs of innocence be down-weighed by the assertion of an unknown and disguised, perchance a malignant accuser?

BER. No longer will I wear that disguise (thrown back his mantle.) Dost thou know me now!

ISA. Yes; I know thee for a wandering minstrel, relieved by the charity of my husband.

BER. No, traitress! know me for Bertram o Ebersdorf, brother to him thou didst murder. Call her accomplice, Martin. Ha! turnest thou pale!

ISA. May I have some water?-(Apart) Sacred Heaven! his vindictive look is so like

[Water is brought.

A MEM. Martin died in the hands of our brethren ROD. Dost thou know the accuser, lady! Isa. (reassuming fortitude.) Let not the sinking of nature under this dreadful trial be imputed to the consciousness of guilt. I do know the accuser -know him to be outlawed for homicide, and under the ban of the empire: his testimony cannot

presence?

ISA. No.

ROD. Speak, accuser.

BER. I impeach thee, Isabella of Aspen, before this awful assembly, of having murdered, privily and by poison, Arnolf of Ebersdorf, thy first husband.

ROD. Canst thou swear to the accusation? BER. (his hand on the altar.) I lay my hand on the steel and the cord, and swear.

ELDEST JUDGE. She says truly.

BER. (to RODERIC.) Then I call upon thee and William of Wolfstein to bear witness to what you know.

ROD. Wolfstein is not in the assembly, and my place prevents me from being a witness. BER. Then I will call another: meanwhile let the accused be removed. ROD. Retire, lady.

[ISABELLA is led to the sacristy
