From the emperor, doubtless, I received this staff,
But now I hold it as the empire's general, —
For the common weal, the universal interest,
And no more for that one man's aggrandizement!
But to the point. What is it that's desired of me?
QUESTENBERG
First, his imperial majesty hath willed
That without pretexts of delay the army
Evacuate Bohemia.
WALLENSTEIN
In this season?
And to what quarter wills the emperor
That we direct our course?
QUESTENBERG
To the enemy.
His majesty resolves, that Regensburg
Be purified from the enemy ere Easter,
That Lutheranism may be no longer preached
In that cathedral, nor heretical
Defilement desecrate the celebration
Of that pure festival.
WALLENSTEIN
My generals,
Can this be realized?
ILLO
'Tis not possible.
BUTLER
It can't be realized.
QUESTENBERG
The emperor
Already hath commanded Colonel Suys
To advance towards Bavaria.
WALLENSTEIN
What did Suys?
QUESTENBERG
That which his duty prompted. He advanced.
WALLENSTEIN
What! he advanced? And I, his general,
Had given him orders, peremptory orders
Not to desert his station! Stands it thus
With my authority? Is this the obedience
Due to my office, which being thrown aside,
No war can be conducted? Chieftains, speak
You be the judges, generals. What deserves
That officer who, of his oath neglectful,
Is guilty of contempt of orders?
ILLO
Death.
WALLENSTEIN (raising his voice, as all but ILLO had remained silent
and seemingly scrupulous).
Count Piccolomini! what has he deserved?
MAX. PICCOLOMINI (after a long pause)
According to the letter of the law,
Death.
ISOLANI
Death.
BUTLER
Death, by the laws of war.
[QUESTENBERG rises from his seat, WALLENSTEIN follows, all the rest rise.
WALLENSTEIN
To this the law condemns him, and not I.
And if I show him favor, 'twill arise
From the reverence that I owe my emperor.
QUESTENBERG
If so, I can say nothing further – here!
