TERZKY. There are strange movements among all the troops, And no one knows the cause. Mysteriously, With gloomy silentness, the several corps Marshal themselves, each under its own banners; Tiefenbach's corps make threatening movements; only The Pappenheimers still remain aloof In their own quarters and let no one enter. WALLENSTEIN. Does Piccolomini appear among them?
Terzky was already upon his march towards Prague; and nothing, but the want of horses, prevented the duke from following him with the regiments who still adhered faithfully to him.
Have you aught else to order; for this instant I make my best speed to Vienna; place My bleeding sword before my emperor's throne, And hope to gain the applause which undelaying And punctual obedience may demand From a just judge. To these enter the COUNTESS TERZKY, pale and disordered. Her utterance is slow and feeble, and unimpassioned. Oh, Countess Terzky!
Of us They think themselves already fairly rid, And as we were deceased, the heir already Is entering on possession Therefore despatch! Count Altringer will have himself excused, And Gallas too I like not this! TERZKY. And if Thou loiterest longer, all will fall away, One following the other. WALLENSTEIN. Altringer Is master of the Tyrol passes.
The Prince of Weimar arms, upon the Maine, To found a mighty dukedom. He of Halberstadt, That Mansfeldt, wanted but a longer life To have marked out with his good sword a lordship That should reward his courage. Who of these Equals our Friedland? There is nothing, nothing So high, but he may set the ladder to it! TERZKY. That's spoken like a man!
The first step was to assure himself of the sentiments of his principal officers, and then to try the attachment of the army, which he had so long confidently reckoned on. Three of them, Colonels Kinsky, Terzky, and Illo, had long been in his secrets, and the two first were further united to his interests by the ties of relationship.
How far may not this Terzky have proceeded What may not he himself too have permitted Himself to do, to snare the enemy, The laws of war excusing? Nothing, save His own mouth shall convict him nothing less! And face to face will I go question him. OCTAVIO. Thou wilt. MAX. I will, as sure as this heart beats. OCTAVIO. I have, indeed, miscalculated on thee.
For nine days, did the two armies remain within musket-shot of each other, when Count Terzky, from the camp of the Imperialists, appeared with a trumpeter in that of the allies, inviting General Arnheim to a conference. The purport was, that Wallenstein, notwithstanding his superiority, was willing to agree to a cessation of arms for six weeks.
ILLO. Caraffa too, and Montecuculi, Are missing, with six other generals, All whom he had induced to follow him. This plot he has long had in writing by him From the emperor; but 'twas finally concluded, With all the detail of the operation, Some days ago with the Envoy Questenberg. TERZKY. Oh, hadst thou but believed me! To them enter the COUNTESS.
He has not betrayed me he could not betray me. I never doubted of it. TERZKY. It can't be. His father has betrayed us, is gone over To the emperor the son could not have ventured To stay behind. There he is! To these enter MAX. PICCOLOMINI. MAX. Yes, here he is!
