Hoped it--or for his ransom offered more

Than his own sword--belt, or at most his dagger?

RECHA.

That argues for me, father! All this proves

That my preserver was no Templar knight,

But only seemed so. If no captive Templar

Has e'er come hither but to meet his death,

And through Jerus'lem cannot wander free,

How could I find one, in the night, to save me?

NATHAN.
