At last the tedious labour's at an end.

The birth-pangs have not hurt you. Still go on

With undiminished zeal, and people heaven

When you are fit no more to people earth.

DAJA.

How, Knight! and does the news I bring deserve

Such bitter taunts? Does it confer no joy

On you to hear that Recha is a Christian,

On you, her lover, and a Christian knight?

TEMPLAR.
