Prior. Whose, then? You said it was no legacy.

Sieg. No matter whose—of this be sure, that he

Who owned it never more will need it, save

In that which it may purchase from your altars:500

'Tis yours, or theirs.

Prior.‍Is there no blood upon it?

Sieg. No; but there's worse than blood—eternal shame!

Prior. Did he who owned it die in his bed?

Sieg.‍Alas!

He did.
