tence,—and this morning—he went off express to the devil.——

Razman.

Damnation! Has the Captain heard of it?

Grimm.

He heard of it only yesterday:—He is foaming with rage:—You know he always thought highly of Roller;—and now that he underwent the rack—We got ropes and a ladder to try to get him out,—but it was all in vain.—Moor himself put on the dress of a Capuchin, and got in to him.—He endeavoured to persuade him to change clothes with him,—but Roller positively refused—And now the Captain has sworn an oath, that made all our hairs stand on end! He vows he will light him such a funeral pile as never king had;—he will burn them alive.—The town itself, I fear, will go for it:—He has long owed them a spite for their intolerable bigotry:—And you know, when he says, "I'll do it," 'tis as good as if we had done it already.

Razman.

Ah! good God! poor Roller!

Spiegelberg.
