GORDON. I am content already, And wish to climb no higher; where great height is, The fall must needy be great. "Great height, great depth." ILLO. Here you have no more business, for to-morrow The Swedes will take possession of the citadel. Come, Terzky, it is supper-time. What think you? Nay, shall we have the town illuminated In honor of the Swede?
Confess it freely. BUTLER. Yes! Prague is lost. And all the several regiments At Budweiss, Tabor, Braunau, Koenigingratz, At Brunn, and Znaym, have forsaken you, And taken the oaths of fealty anew To the emperor. Yourself, with Kinsky, Terzky, And Illo have been sentenced. WALLENSTEIN remains firm and collected. WALLENSTEIN. 'Tis decided! 'Tis well!
There must have been found on him my whole packet To Thur, to Kinsky, to Oxenstiern, to Arnheim: All this is in their hands; they have now an insight Into the whole our measures and our motives. To them enters ILLO. Has he heard it? TERZKY. He has heard it. Thinkest thou still To make thy peace with the emperor, to regain His confidence?
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.
COUNTESS. Come I perhaps too early? I hope not. WALLENSTEIN. Set not this tongue upon me, I entreat you: You know it is the weapon that destroys me. I am routed, if a woman but attack me: I cannot traffic in the trade of words With that unreasoning sex. COUNTESS. I had already Given the Bohemians a king. They have one, In consequence, no doubt. Ha! what new scruple? TERZKY. The duke will not.
TERZKY. 'Tis this alone the enemy awaits To change their chief and join their force with ours. ILLO. Come! be we bold and make despatch. The work In this next day or two must thrive and grow More than it has for years. And let but only Things first turn up auspicious here below Mark what I say the right stars, too, will show themselves. Come to the generals.
TERZKY. Ah! you know This night, that is now coming, he with Seni, Shuts himself up in the astrological tower To make joint observations for I hear It is to be a night of weight and crisis; And something great, and of long expectation, Takes place in heaven. ILLO. O that it might take place On earth!
DUCHESS and COUNTESS. Merciful heaven! Let me go to them! WALLENSTEIN. Not a step! But their life! Thine! WALLENSTEIN. What tidings bringest thou, Terzky? To these TERZKY returning. TERZKY. Message and greeting from our faithful regiments. Their ardor may no longer be curbed in.
To-morrow The citadel shall be surrendered to you On your arrival. WALLENSTEIN sits lost in thought, his eyes fixed vacantly, and his head sustained by his hand. The COUNTESS TERZKY enters, stands before him for awhile, unobserved by him; at length he starts, sees her and recollects himself. WALLENSTEIN. Comest thou from her? Is she restored? How is she?
The exception of their duties towards Austria They'll always place among the premises. With this reserve All unconditional; No premises, no reserves. ILLO. A thought has struck me. Does not Count Terzky give us a set banquet This evening? TERZKY. Yes; and all the generals Have been invited. Say, will you here fully Commission me to use my own discretion?
