Well, I have other fears. The only child,

As they suppose, of such a wealthy Jew,

Would for a Mussulman be no bad thing.

I'll wager that the Templar loses her,

Unless I risk a second step, and state

Plainly to Recha who she is. So, courage!

And to do this I must at once employ

The first brief moments when we are alone.

Chance serves: she waits for me, and on the way

An earnest hint will never prove amiss.
