OCTAVIO.
No excuses!
ISOLANI.
I am a merry lad, and if at time
A rash word might escape me 'gainst the Court
Amidst my wine—You know no harm was
meant.
[Exit.]
OCTAVIO.
You need not be uneasy on that score
That has succeeded. Fortune favor us
With all the others only but as much!
SCENE VI
OCTAVIO PICCOLOMINI, BUTLER
BUTLER.
At your command, Lieutenant-General.
OCTAVIO.
Welcome, as honor'd friend and visitor.
BUTLER.
You do me too much honor.
OCTAVIO (after both have seated themselves).
You have not
Return'd the advances which I made you yesterday—
Misunderstood them as mere empty forms.
That wish proceeded from my heart—I was
In earnest with you—for 'tis now a time
In which the honest should unite most closely.
BUTLER.
'Tis only the like-minded can unite.
OCTAVIO.
True! and I name all honest men like-minded.
I never charge a man but with those acts
To which his character deliberately
Impels him; for alas! the violence
Of blind misunderstandings often thrusts
The very best of us from the right track.
You came through Frauenburg. Did the Count Gallas
Say nothing to you? Tell me. He's my friend.
BUTLER.
His words were lost on me.
OCTAVIO.
It grieves me sorely,
To hear it: for his counsel was most wise.
I had myself the like to offer.
BUTLER.
Spare
Yourself the trouble—me th' embarrassment,
To have deserved so ill your good opinion.
OCTAVIO.
The time is precious—let us talk openly.
