Another army likewise (who dares doubt it?)
Will flock from all sides to the emperor,
At the first beat of his recruiting drum.
[During this speech, ISOLANI, TERZKY, ILLO, and MARADAS talk
confusedly with great agitation.
MAX. PICCOLOMINI (busily and passionately going from one to another, and soothing them)
Hear, my commander' Hear me, generals!
Let me conjure you, duke! Determine nothing,
Till we have met and represented to you
Our joint remonstrances! Nay, calmer! Friends!
I hope all may yet be set right again.
TERZKY
Away! let us away! in the antechamber
Find we the others.
[They go.
BUTLER (to QUESTENBERG)
If good counsel gain
Due audience from your wisdom, my lord envoy,
You will be cautious how you show yourself
In public for some hours to come – or hardly
Will that gold key protect you from maltreatment.
[Commotions heard from without.
WALLENSTEIN
A salutary counsel – Thou, Octavio!
Wilt answer for the safety of our guest.
Farewell, von Questenberg!
[QUESTENBURG is about to speak.
Nay, not a word.
Not one word more of that detested subject!
You have performed your duty. We know now
To separate the office from the man.
[AS QUESTENBERG is going off with OCTAVIO, GOETZ, TIEFENBACH,
KOLATTO, press in, several other generals following them.
GOETZ
Where's he who means to rob us of our general?
TIEFENBACH (at the same time)
What are we forced to bear? That thou wilt leave us?
KOLATTO (at the same time)
We will live with thee, we will die with thee.
WALLENSTEIN (with stateliness, and pointing to ILLO)
There! the field-marshal knows our will.
[Exit

ACT III
SCENE I
A Small Chamber.
ILLO and TERZKY.
TERZKY
Now for this evening's business! How intend you
To manage with the generals at the banquet?
ILLO
Attend! We frame a formal declaration,
Wherein we to the duke consign ourselves
Collectively, to be and to remain
His, both with life and limb, and not to spare
The last drop of our blood for him, provided,
So doing we infringe no oath or duty
We may be under to the emperor. Mark!
This reservation we expressly make
In a particular clause, and save the conscience.
Now hear! this formula so framed and worded
Will be presented to them for perusal
Before the banquet. No one will find in it
Cause of offence or scruple. Hear now further!
After the feast, when now the vapering wine
Opens the heart, and shuts the eyes, we let
Will flock from all sides to the emperor,
At the first beat of his recruiting drum.
