Так получилось, что книга ко мне попала в тяжелый эмоциональный кризис и многое мне дала. Написано актуально, тут многих полезных вещей, никакого злоу...

WALLENSTEIN, TERZKY, and ILLO (re-enter).

ILLO

Is't all right?

TERZKY

Are you compromised?

ILLO

This Swede
Went smiling from you. Yes! you're compromised.

WALLENSTEIN

As yet is nothing settled; and (well weighed)
I feel myself inclined to leave it so.

TERZKY

How? What is that?

WALLENSTEIN

Come on me what will come,
The doing evil to avoid an evil
Cannot be good!

TERZKY

Nay, but bethink you, duke.

WALLENSTEIN

To live upon the mercy of these Swedes!
Of these proud-hearted Swedes! – I could not bear it.

ILLO

Goest thou as fugitive, as mendicant?
Bringest thou not more to them than thou receivest?

WALLENSTEIN

How fared it with the brave and royal Bourbon
Who sold himself unto his country's foes,
And pierced the bosom of his father-land?
Curses were his reward, and men's abhorrence
Avenged the unnatural and revolting deed.

ILLO

Is that thy case?

WALLENSTEIN

True faith, I tell thee,
Must ever be the dearest friend of man
His nature prompts him to assert its rights.
The enmity of sects, the rage of parties,
Long-cherished envy, jealousy, unite;'
And all the struggling elements of evil
Suspend their conflict, and together league
In one alliance 'gainst their common foe —
The savage beast that breaks into the fold,
Where men repose in confidence and peace.
For vain were man's own prudence to protect him.
'Tis only in the forehead nature plants
The watchful eye; the back, without defence,
Must find its shield in man's fidelity.

TERZKY

Think not more meanly off thyself than do
Thy foes, who stretch their hands with joy to greet thee.
Less scrupulous far was the imperial Charles,
The powerful head of this illustrious house;
With open arms he gave the Bourbon welcome;
For still by policy the world is ruled.

SCENE VII

To these enter the COUNTESS TERZKY.

WALLENSTEIN

Who sent for you? There is no business here
For women.

COUNTESS

I am come to bid you joy.

WALLENSTEIN

Use thy authority, Terzky; bid her go.
