Certainly looks like ‘ouscher’ to me (in the first line, not the second), but I’d say it’s either a misprint or maybe a (pseudo-)Yiddish word transcribed in German, given the Jud Süß context? Or
both: a Yiddish word that the printer couldn’t understand.
In general, the best sources for German from the period are Adelung, Grimm, or Zedler; the first two are available at
www.woerterbuchnetz.de, but I’ve checked there.
Best,

I'm reading "Wunsch"? (but on a very small screen so may not be looking at the right bit! ..)

Dear Collective Wisdom,
Does anyone have any idea what
ousch is supposed to mean in the attached (a poem on Joseph Süß Oppenheimer, from 1738)? A typo for something else (but what?)?
With many thanks, and best wishes,
Simon
