This very conceit hath in a tempest disposed and left me willing to be swallowed up in the abyss of waters, wherein I had perished unseen, unpitied, without wondering eyes, tears of pity, lectures of mortality, and none had said, "Quantum mutatus ab illo!"
How sincerely Soever I return back to my duty, It will no longer help me ILLO. Ruin thee, That it will do! Not thy fidelity, Thy weakness will be deemed the sole occasion What! I must realize it now in earnest, Because I toyed too freely with the thought! Accursed he who dallies with a devil! And must I I must realize it now Now, while I have the power, it must take place!
I know well enough you never loved me devil take me! and I never loved you! I am always even with people in that way! Let what's past be past that is, you understand forgotten! I esteem you infinitely. The fellow that cries rogue to you calls me villain, and I'll strangle him! my dear friend! Art in thy senses? For heaven's sake, Illo, think where you are! What do you mean?
A measure such as this Ought to be thought of. WRANGEL. Ay! but think of this too, That sudden action only can procure it. Success think first of this, your highness. ILLO. Is't all right? TERZKY.

Come on me what will come, The doing evil to avoid an evil Cannot be good!
Therefore, I have my doubts." "Incommodi quid erit, sive Tacito tribuamus; sive M. Fabio Quinctiliano, ut mihi olim visim? ...

Without suspecting the danger that hung over them, the guests gaily abandoned themselves to the pleasures of the table, and Wallenstein's health was drunk in full bumpers, not as a servant of the Emperor, but as a sovereign prince. The wine opened their hearts, and Illo, with exultation, boasted that in three days an army would arrive, such as Wallenstein had never before been at the head of.
WALLENSTEIN. Not more assured of mine own self. TERZKY. And yet I would you trusted not so much to Octavio, The fox! WALLENSTEIN. Thou teachest me to know my man? Sixteen campaigns I have made with that old warrior. To this belongs its own peculiar aspect, If therefore thou canst warrant me the rest ILLO. There is among them all but this one voice, You must not lay down the command.
I will call it a most blessed one, If it work on thee as it ought to do, Hurry thee on to action to decision. The Swedish general? WALLENSTEIN. He's arrived! Know'st What his commission is ILLO. To thee alone Will he intrust the purpose of his coming. WALLENSTEIN. A cursed, cursed accident! Yes, yes, Sesina knows too much, and won't be silent.
Wine invents nothing: it only tattles. ILLO. He who is not with me is against me. Your tender consciences! Unless they can slip out by a back-door, by a puny proviso He is stark mad don't listen to him! Unless they can slip out by a proviso. What of the proviso? The devil take this proviso! What is there here then of such perilous import? You make me curious I must look closer at it.
