Scene VIII
Wallenstein, Tertsky, Illo.Illo.
Treason and mutiny!
Tertsky.
And what further now?
Illo.
Tiefenbach's soldiers, when I gave the orders
To go off guard—Mutinous villains!
Tertsky.
Well!
739
What followed?
Illo.
They refused obedience to them.
Tertsky.
Fire on them instantly! Give out the order.
Wallenstein.
Gently! what cause did they assign?
Illo.
No other,
They said, had right to issue orders but
Lieutenant-General Piccolomini.
Wallenstein.
What? How is that?
Illo.
He takes that office on him by commission,
Under sign-manual of the Emperor.
Tertsky.
From the Emperor—hear'st thou, Duke?
Illo.
At his incitement
The Generals made that stealthy flight—
Tertsky.
Duke! hearest thou?
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.
[Wallenstein sinks down into a chair and covers his face.
Tertsky.
O hadst thou but believed me!
