[ILLO is going.
Stop!
Hast thou heard aught of Butler?

ILLO.
Him I met
He will be here himself immediately.
Butler remains unshaken,

[ILLO exit. WALLENSTEIN is following him.

COUNTESS.
Let him not leave thee, sister! go, detain him!
There's some misfortune.

DUCHESS (clinging to him).
Gracious Heaven! What is it?

WALLENSTEIN.
Be tranquil! leave me, sister! dearest wife!
We are in camp, and this is naught unusual;
Here storm and sunshine follow one another
With rapid interchanges. These fierce spirits
Champ the curb angrily, and never yet
Did quiet bless the temples of the leader;
If I am to stay go you. The plaints of women
Ill suit the scene where men must act.

[He is going: TERZKY returns.
