WALLENSTEIN. How hath Isolani declared himself? ILLO. He's yours, both soul and body, Since you built up again his faro-bank. WALLENSTEIN. And which way doth Kolatto bend? Hast thou Made sure of Tiefenbach and Deodati? ILLO. What Piccolomini does that they do too. WALLENSTEIN. You mean, then, I may venture somewhat with them? ILLO. If you are assured of the Piccolomini.
ADJUTANT. It waits below. OCTAVIO. And are the soldiers trusty, adjutant? Say, from what regiment hast thou chosen them? ADJUTANT. From Tiefenbach's. OCTAVIO. That regiment is loyal, Keep them in silence in the inner court, Unseen by all, and when the signal peals Then close the doors, keep watch upon the house. A chamber in PICCOLOMINI's dwelling-house: OCTAVIO, PICCOLOMINI, ISOLANI, entering.
God forbid That I should jest! In very serious earnest, I am rejoiced to see an honest cause So strong. ISOLANI. The devil! what! why, what means this? Are you not, then For what, then, am I here? OCTAVIO. That you may make full declaration, whether You will be called the friend or enemy Of the emperor.
This instant I wait to hear, count, whether you will say it. ISOLANI. Ay! that delights me now, that you yourself Bear witness for me that I never said so. OCTAVIO. And you renounce the duke then? ISOLANI. If he's planning Treason why, treason breaks all bonds asunder. OCTAVIO. And are determined, too, to fight against him?
TERZKY. Now! are you willing to subscribe to this paper? ISOLANI. Why should he not? All officers of honor Can do it, ay, must do it. Pen and ink here! TERZKY. Nay, let it rest till after meal. Come, Max! Have you the copy with you, Neumann? Give it. It may be changed for the other?
OCTAVIO. And you submit to the order? ISOLANI. I But you have taken me so by surprise Time for reflection one must have OCTAVIO. Two minutes. ISOLANI. My God! But then the case is OCTAVIO. Plain and simple. You must declare you, whether you determine To act a treason 'gainst your lord and sovereign, Or whether you will serve him faithfully. ISOLANI. Treason! My God! But who talks then of treason?
QUESTENBERG. And is the poorer by even so many subjects. ISOLANI. Poh! we are all his subjects. QUESTENBERG. Yet with a difference, general! The one fill With profitable industry the purse, The others are well skilled to empty it. The sword has made the emperor poor; the plough Must reinvigorate his resources. ISOLANI. Sure! Times are not yet so bad.
Meanwhile Do you your part. As yet I cannot say What I shall do only, give way I will not, Depose me, too, they shall not. On these points You may rely. My lords, the generals. WALLENSTEIN. Let them come in. TERZKY. Shall all the chiefs be present? WALLENSTEIN. 'Twere needless. Both the Piccolomini Maradas, Butler, Forgoetsch, Deodati, Karaffa, Isolani these may come.
If there be any one that wants satisfaction, let him say so, I am his man. TIEFENBACH. Softly, softly? 'Twas but a word or two. Till to-morrow therefore! Subscribe Judas! ISOLANI. Out upon you, Illo! Down with the sword! Take him off to bed! ILLO cursing and raving is held back by some of the officers, and amidst a universal confusion the curtain drops. A Chamber in PICCOLOMINI's Mansion.
ISOLANI. It shall be done. But you'll remember me With the emperor how well disposed you found me. OCTAVIO. I will not fail to mention it honorably. What, Colonel Butler! Show him up. Forgive me too my bearish ways, old father! Lord God! how should I know, then, what a great Person I had before me. OCTAVIO. No excuses!
