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.
The Countess Terzky, in particular, is a strong portrait which one can admire without reservation. As for Thekla, while her essence is an all-absorbing love for Max, she has at the same time a will and an energy of resolution which make her the worthy daughter of her father. Upon the whole she is the most lovable of all the heroines of Schiller.
And who refuses To do it is a Spaniard and a traitor. TERZKY. Nay! nay! not that, it will not please the duke ILLO. What; we are masters here; no soul shall dare Avow himself imperial where we've the rule. Gordon! good-night, and for the last time take A fair leave of the place. Send out patrols To make secure, the watchword may be altered.
For we have instances that folks may like The murder, and yet hang the murderer. BUTLER. The manifesto says "alive or dead." Alive 'tis not possible you see it is not. DEVEREUX. Well, dead then! dead! But bow can we come at him. The town is filled with Terzky's soldiery. MACDONALD. Ay! and then Terzky still remains, and Illo BUTLER. With these you shall begin you understand me? DEVEREUX. How!
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.
At the same moment, he heard, from the adjoining building, the shrieks of the Countesses Terzky and Kinsky, who had just learnt the violent fate of their husbands. Ere he had time to reflect on these terrible events, Deveroux, with the other murderers, was in his chamber. The Duke was in his shirt, as he had leaped out of bed, and leaning on a table near the window.
WALLENSTEIN. He goes to Frauenberg, and will lead hither The Spanish and Italian regiments. ILLO. No! Nay, heaven forbid! WALLENSTEIN. And why should heaven forbid? ILLO. Him! that deceiver! Wouldst thou trust to him The soldiery? Him wilt thou let slip from thee, Now in the very instant that decides us TERZKY. Thou wilt not do this! No! I pray thee, no! WALLENSTEIN. Ye are whimsical.
COUNT TERZKY, the Commander of several Regiments, and Brother-in-law of Wallenstein. ILLO, Field-Marshal, Wallenstein's Confidant. ISOLANI, General of the Croats. BUTLER, an Irishman, Commander of a Regiment of Dragoons. GORDON, Governor of Egra.
E'en were it now thy wish To abandon all thy plans, yet still they know What thou hast wished: then forwards thou must press; Retreat is now no longer in thy power. TERZKY. They have documents against us, and in hands, Which show beyond all power of contradiction WALLENSTEIN. Of my handwriting no iota. Thee I punish or thy lies.
TERZKY. He says, you are never in earnest in your speeches; That you decoy the Swedes to make fools of them; Will league yourself with Saxony against them, And at last make yourself a riddance of them With a paltry sum of money.
