- Color lithograph of "Death to the Jew" from La danse des morts à Bâle de Holbein / Basler Todtentanz von Hans Holbein by Hieronymus Hess, published Basel: Hasler & Cie. In German, the text reads : --Der Tod zum Juden: "Hujum, Jud! mach dich auf die Fahrt; / Dein's Messiä hast zu lang g'wart: / Christum, welchen ihr habt ermördt, / War der recht, ihr habt lang geirrt." --Antwort des Juden: "Ein Rabbi war ich der Geschrift, / Zog aus der Bibel nur das Gift: / Gar wenig nach Messiam tracht, / Hatt' mehr auf Schätz und Wucher Acht." In English, the text reads : --Death to the Jew: "Up, Jew, and take the common gate, / In vain you for Messiah wait; / Christ, whom, you slew, was He indeed, / You've follow'd long a hopeless creed." The Jew's reply: "As Rabbi long the law I knew, / But poison from its pages drew; / Messiah had few charms for me, / My faith was Gold and Usury."
