Upon the Rhine, upon the Rhine they Cluster.
The grapes of juice divine,
Which makes the soldier’s jovial1 courage muster2;
0 blessed be the Rhine!
Drinking Song. 13
A cottage or two on the side of the river, beside which were moored3 one or two fishing-boats, showed the pious4 Hans had successors in his profession as a boatman. The river, which at a point a little lower was restrained by a chain of islets, expanded more. widely, and moved less rapidly, than when it passed these cottages, affording to the ferryman a smoother surface, and a less heavy stream to contend with, although the current was even there too strong to be borne up against, unless the river was in a tranquil5 state.
On the opposite bank, but a good deal lower than the hamlet which gave name to the ferry, was seated on a small eminence6, screened by trees and bushes, the little town of Kirchhoff. A skiff departing from the left bank was, even on favorable occasions, carried considerably7 to leeward8 ere it could attain9 the opposite side of the deep and full stream of the Rhine, so that its course was oblique10 towards Kirch-hoff. On the other hand, a boat departing from Kirch-hoff must have great advantage both of wind and oars11, in order to land its loading or crew at the Chapel12 of the Ferry, unless it were under the miraculous13 influence which carried the image of the Virgin14 in that direction. The communication, therefore, from the east to the west bank, was only maintained by towing boats up the stream, to such a height on the eastern side, that the leeway which they made during the voyage across might correspond with the point at which they desired to arrive, and enable them to attain it with ease. Hence, it naturally happened, that the passage from Alsace into Swabia being the most easy, the ferry was more used by those who were desirous of entering Germany, than by travellers who came in an opposite direction.
When the elder Philipson had by a glance around him ascertained15 the situation of the ferry, he said firmly to his son, — “Begone, my dear Arthur, and do what I have commanded thee.”
With a heart rent with filial anxiety, the young man obeyed, and took his solitary16 course towards the cottages, near which the barks were moored, which were occasionally used for fishing, as well as for the purposes of the ferry.
“Your son leaves us?” said Bartholomew to the elder Philipson.
“He does for the present,” said his father, “as he has certain inquiries17 to make in yonder hamlet.”
“If they be,” answered the guide, “any matters connected with your honor’s road, I laud18 the Saints that I can better answer your inquiries than those ignorant boors19, who hardly understand your language.”
“If we find that their information needs thy commentary,” said Philipson, “we will request it — meanwhile, lead on to the chapel, where my son will join us.”
They moved towards the chapel, but with slow steps, each turning his looks aside to the fishing hamlet; the guide as if striving to see whether the younger traveller was returning towards them, the father anxious to descry20, on the broad bosom21 of the Rhine, a sail unloosed, to waft22 his son across to that which might be considered as the safer side. But though the looks of both guide and traveller were turned in the direction of the river, their steps carried them towards the chapel, to which the inhabitants, in memory of the founder23, had given the title of Hans-Chapelle.
A few trees scattered24 around gave an agreeable and silvan air to the place; and the chapel, that appeared on a rising ground at some distance from the hamlet, was constructed in a style of pleasing simplicity25, which corresponded with the whole scene. Its small size confirmed the tradition that it had originally been merely the hut of a peasant; and the cross of fir-tree, covered with bark, attested26 the purpose to which it was now dedicated27. The chapel and all round it breathed peace and solemn tranquillity28, and the deep sound of the mighty29 river seemed to impose silence on each human voice which might presume to mingle30 with its awful murmur31.
When Philipson arrived in the vicinity, Bartholomew took the advantage afforded by his silence to thunder forth32 two stanzas33 to the praise of the Lady of the Ferry, and her faithful worshipper Hans, after which he broke forth into the rapturous exclamation34, — “Come hither, ye who fear wreck35, here is your safe haven36! — Come hither, ye who die of thirst, here is a well of mercy open to you! — Come those who are weary and far-travelled, this is your place of refreshment37!” — and more to the same purpose he might have said, but Philipson sternly imposed silence on him.
“ If thy devotion were altogether true,” he said, “it would be less clamorous38; but it is well to do what is good in itself, even if it is a hypocrite who recommends it. — Let us enter this holy chapel, and pray for a fortunate issue to our precarious39 travels.”
The pardoner caught up the last words.
“Sure was I,” he said, “that your worship is too well advised pass this holy place without imploring40 the protection and influence of Our Lady of the Ferry. Tarry but a moment until I find the priest who serves the altar, that he may say a mass on your behalf.”
Here he was interrupted by the door of the chapel suddenly opening, when an ecclesiastic41 appeared on the threshold. Philipson instantly knew the Priest of Saint Paul’s, whom he had seen that morning at La Ferette. Bartholomew also knew him, as it would seem; for his officious hypocritical eloquence42 failed him in an instant, and he stood before the priest with his arms folded on his breast, like a man who waits for the sentence of condemnation43.
“Villain44,” said the ecclesiastic, regarding the guide with a severe countenance45, “dost thou lead a stranger into the houses of the Holy Saints, that thou mayst slay46 him, and possess thyself of his spoils? But Heaven will no longer bear with thy perfidy47. Back, thou wretch48, to meet thy brother miscreants49, who are hastening hitherward. Tell them thy arts were unavailing, and that the innocent stranger is under MY protection — under my protection, which those who presume to violate will meet with the reward of Archibald de Hagenbach?”
The guide stood quite motionless, while addressed by the priest in a manner equally menacing and authoritative50; and no sooner did the latter cease speaking, than, without offering a word either in justification51 or reply, Bartholomew turned round, and retreated at a hasty pace by the same road which had conducted the traveller to the chapel.
“And do you, worthy52 Englishman,” continued the priest, “enter into this chapel and perform in safety those devotions, by means of which yonder hypocrite designed to detain you until his brethren in iniquity53 came up. But first, wherefore are you alone? I trust naught54 evil hath befallen your young companion?”
“My son,” said Philipson, “crosses the Rhine at yonder ferry, as we had important business to transact55 on the other side.”
As he spoke56 thus, a light boat, about which two or three peasants had been for sonic time busy, was seen to push from the shore, and shoot into the stream, to which it was partly compelled to give way, until a sail stretched along the slender yard, and supporting the bark against the current, enabled her to stand obliquely57 across the river.
“Now, praise be to God!” said Philipson, who was aware that the bark he looked upon must be in the act of carrying his son beyond the reach of the dangers by which he was himself surrounded.
“Amen!” answered the priest, echoing the pious ejaculation of the traveller. “Great reason have you to return thanks to Heaven.”
“Of that I am convinced,” replied Philipson; “but yet from you I hope to learn the special cause of danger from which I have escaped?”
“This is neither time nor place for such an investigation,” answered the priest of Saint Paul’s. “it is enough to say, that yonder fellow, well known for his hypocrisy58 and his crimes, was present when the young Switzer, Sigismund, reclaimed59 from the executioner the treasure of which you were robbed by Hagenbach. Thus Bartholomew’s avarice60 was awakened61. He under-took to be your guide to Strassburg, with the criminal intent of detaining you by the way till a party came up, against whose numbers resistance would have been in vain. But his purpose has been anticipated. — And now, ere giving vent62 to other worldly thoughts, whether of hope or fear, — to the chapel, sir, and join in orisons to Him who hath been your aid, and to those who have interceded63 with Him in your behalf.”
Philipson entered the chapel with his guide, and joined in returning thanks to Heaven and the tutelary64 power of the spot, for the escape which had been vouchsafed65 to him.
When this duty had been performed, Philipson intimated his purpose of resuming his journey, to which the Black Priest replied, “That far from delaying him in a place so dangerous he would himself accompany him for some part of the journey, since he also was bound to the presence of the Duke of Burgundy.”
“You, my father! — you!” said the merchant, with some astonishment66.
“And wherefore surprised?” answered the priest. “Is it so strange that one of my order should visit a prince’s court? Believe me, there are but too many of them to be found there.”
“I do not speak with reference to your order,” answered Philipson, “but in regard of the part which you have this day acted, in abetting67 the execution of Archibald de Hagenbach. Know you so little of the fiery68 Duke of Burgurdy, as to imagine you can daily with his resentment69 with more safety than you would pull the mane of a sleeping lion?”
“I know his mood well,” said the priest; “and it is not to excuse, but to defend the death of De Hagenbach, that I go to his presence. The Duke may execute his serfs and bondsmen at his pleasure, but there is a spell upon my life, which is proof to all his power. But let me retort the question — You, Sir Englishman, knowing the conditions of the Duke so well — you, so lately the guest and travelling companion of the most unwelcome visitors who could approach him — you, implicated70, in appearance at least, in the uproar71 at La Ferette — what chance is there of your escaping his vengeance72; and wherefore will you throw yourself wantonly within his power?”
“Worthy father,” said the merchant, “let each of us, without offence to the other, keep his own secret. I have, indeed, no spell to secure me from the Duke’s resentment — I have limbs to suffer torture and imprisonment73, and property which may be seized and confiscated74. But I have had in former days many dealings with the Duke; I may even say I have laid him under obligations, and hope my interest with him may in consequence be sufficient, not only to save me from the consequences of this day’s procedure, but be of some avail to my friend the Landamman.”
“But if you are in reality bound to the court of Burgundy as a merchant,” said the priest, “where are the wares75 in which you traffic? Have you no merchandise save that which you carry on your person? I heard of a sumpter-horse with baggage. Has yonder villain deprived you of it?”
This was a trying question to Philipson, who, anxious about the separation from his son, had given no direction whether the baggage should remain with himself, or should be transported to the other side of the Rhine. He was, therefore, taken at advantage by the priest’s inquiry76, to which he answered, with some incoherence, — “I believe my baggage is in the hamlet — that is, unless my son has taken it across the Rhine with him.”
“That we will soon learn,” answered the priest.
Here a novice77 appeared from the vestiary of the chapel at his call, and received commands to inquire at the hamlet whether Philipson’s bales, with the horse which transported them, had been left there, or ferried over along with his son.
The novice, being absent a few minutes, presently returned with the baggage-horse, which, with its burden, Arthur, from regard to his father’s accommodation, had left on the western side of the river. The priest looked on attentively78, while the elder Philipson, mounting his own horse, and taking the rein79 of the other in his hand, bade the Black Priest adieu in these words, — “And now, father, farewell! I must pass on with my hales, since there is little wisdom in travelling with them after nightfall, else would I gladly suit my pace, with your permission, so as to share the way with you.”
“If it is your obliging purpose to do so, as indeed I was about to propose,” said the priest, “know I will be no stay to your journey. I have here a good horse; and Melchior, who must otherwise have gone on foot, may ride upon your sumptor-horse. I the rather propose this course, as it will be rash for you to travel by night. I can conduct you to an hostelry about five miles off, which we may reach with sufficient daylight, and where you will be lodged81 safely for your reckoning.”
The English merchant hesitated a moment. He had no fancy for any new companion on the road, and although the countenance of the priest was rather handsome, considering his years, yet the expression was such as by no means invited confidence. On the contrary, there was something mysterious and gloomy which clouded his brow, though it was a lofty one, and a similar expression gleamed in his cold gray eye, and intimated severity and even harshness of disposition82. But notwithstanding this repulsive83 circumstance, the priest had lately rendered Philipson a considerable service, by detecting the treachery of his hypocritical guide, and the merchant was not a man to be startled from his course by any imaginary prepossessions against the looks or manners of any one, or apprehension84 of machinations against himself. He only revolved85 in his mind the singularity attending his destiny, which, while it was necessary for him to appear before the Duke of Burgundy in the most conciliatory manner, seemed to force upon him the adoption86 of companions who must needs be obnoxious87 to that prince; and such, he was too well aware, must he the case with the Priest of St. Paul’s. Having reflected for an instant, he courteously88 accepted the offer of the priest to guide him to some place of rest and entertainment, which must be absolutely necessary for his horse before he reached Strassburg, even if he himself could have dispensed89 with it.”
The party being thus arranged, the novice brought forth the priest’s steed, which he mounted with grace and agility90, and the neophyte91, being probably the same whom Arthur had represented during his escape from La Ferette, took charge, at his master’s command, of the baggage-horse of the English man; and, crossing himself, with a humble92 inclination93 of his head, as the priest passed him, he fell into the rear, and seemed to pass the time, like the false brother Bartholemew, in telling his beads94, with an earnestness which had perhaps more of affected95 than of real piety96. The Black Priest of St. Paul’s, to judge by the glance which he cast upon his novice, seemed to disdain97 the formality of the young man’s devotion. He rode upon a strong black horse, more like a warrior’s charger than the ambling98 palfrey of a priest, and the manner in which he managed him was entirely99 devoid100 of awkwardness and timidity. His pride, whatever was his character, was not certainly of a kind altogether professional, but had its origin in other swelling101 thoughts which arose in his mind, to mingle with and enhance the self-consequence of a powerful ecclesiastic.
As Philipson looked on his companion from time to time, his scrutinizing102 glance was returned by a haughty103 smile, which seemed to say, “You may gaze on my form and features, but you cannot penetrate104 my mystery.”
The looks of Philipson, which were never known to sink before mortal man, seemed to retort, with equal haughtiness105, “Nor shall you, proud priest, know that you are now in company with one whose secret is far more important than thine own can be.”
At length the priest made some advance towards conversation, by allusion106 to the footing upon which, by a mutual107 understanding, they seemed to have placed their intercourse108.
“We travel then,” he said, like two powerful enchanters, each conscious of his own high and secret purpose; each in his own chariot of clouds, and neither imparting to his companion the direction or purpose of his journey.”
“Excuse me, father,” answered Philipson, “I have neither asked your purpose, nor concealed109 my own, so far as it concerns you. I repeat, I am bound to the presence of the Duke of Burgundy, and my object, like that of any other merchant, is to dispose of my wares to advantage.”
“Doubtless it would seem so,” said the Black Priest, “from the extreme attention to your merchandise which you showed not above half an hour since, when you knew not whether your bales had crossed the river with your son, or were remaining in your own charge. Are English gentlemen usually so indifferent to the sources of their traffic?”
“When their lives are in danger,” said Philipson, “they are sometimes negligent110 of their fortunes.”
“It is well,” replied the priest, and again resumed his solitary musings; until another half-hour’s travelling brought them to a dorff, or village, which the Black Priest informed Philipson was that where he proposed to stop for the night.
“The novice,” he said, “will show you the inn, which is of good reputation, and where you may lodge80 with safety. For me, I have to visit a penitent111 in this village, who desires my ghostly offices; — perhaps I may see you again this evening, perhaps not till the next morning; — at any rate, adieu for the present.”
So saying, the priest stopped his horse, while the novice, coming close up to Philipson’s side, conducted him onward112 through the narrow street of the village, whilst the windows exhibited here and there a twinkling gleam, announcing that the hour of darkness was arrived. Finally he led the Englishman through an archway into a sort of courtyard, where there stood a car or two of a particular shape, used occasionally by women when they travel, and some other vehicles of the same kind. Here the young man threw himself from the sumptor-horse, and placing the rein in Philipson’s hand disappeared in the increasing darkness, after pointing to a large but dilapidated building, along the front of which not a spark of light was to be discovered from any of the narrow and numerous windows, which were dimly visible in the twilight113.
