He lends the enemy his ear, permits me To write to them, to Arnheim; to Sesina Himself comes forward blank and undisguised; Talks with us by the hour about his plans, And when I think I have him off at once He has slipped from me, and appears as if He had no scheme, but to retain his place. ILLO. He give up his old plans! I'll tell you, friend!
OCTAVIO and MAX. PICCOLOMINI. OCTAVIO. Well and what now, son? All will soon be clear; For all, I'm certain, went through that Sesina. I will procure me light a shorter way. Farewell. OCTAVIO. Where now? Remain here. MAX. To the Duke. What If thou hast believed that I shall act A part in this thy play, thou hast Miscalculated on me grievously. My way must be straight on.
ILLO. And thou believest, That what this man, and what thy sister's husband, Did in thy name, will not stand on thy reckoning? His word must pass for thy word with the Swede, And not with those that hate thee at Vienna? TERZKY. In writing thou gavest nothing; but bethink thee, How far thou venturedst by word of mouth With this Sesina! And will he be silent?
OCTAVIO. Lead him in: And, hark you let it not transpire. OCTAVIO. Ha! cornet is it you; and from Count Gallas? Give me your letters. CORNET. The lieutenant-general Trusted it not to letters. OCTAVIO. And what is it? CORNET. He bade me tell you Dare I speak openly here? OCTAVIO. My son knows all. CORNET. We have him. OCTAVIO. Whom? CORNET. Sesina, The old negotiator. And you have him?
One enters into the spirit of his self-defense, is half inclined to believe in his innocence and to sympathize with him, when the psychological moment arrives and the capture of Sesina compels him to translate a traitorous thought into a traitorous deed.
TERZKY. The man who knows our secrets, who knows every Negotiation with the Swede and Saxon, Through whose hands all and everything has passed Nay, not Sesina? Say, no! I entreat thee. TERZKY. All on his road for Regensburg to the Swede He was plunged down upon by Gallas' agent, Who had been long in ambush, lurking for him.
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.
Was much found on him? CORNET. I think, six packets, with Count Terzky's arms. OCTAVIO. None in the duke's own hand? CORNET. Not that I know. OCTAVIO. And old Sesina. CORNET. He was sorely frightened. When it was told him he must to Vienna; But the Count Altringer bade him take heart, Would he but make a full and free confession. OCTAVIO. Is Altringer then with your lord?
