Of letters to take leave of you, together
With all the regiments.



SCENE IV.

To these enter COUNT TERZKY.

TERZKY.
Joy, general, joy! I bring you welcome tidings.

WALLENSTEIN.
And what may they be?

TERZKY.
There has been an engagement
At Neustadt; the Swedes gained the victory.

WALLENSTEIN.
From whence did you receive the intelligence?

TERZKY.
A countryman from Tirschenreut conveyed it.
Soon after sunrise did the fight begin
A troop of the imperialists from Tachau
Had forced their way into the Swedish camp;
The cannonade continued full two hours;
There were left dead upon the field a thousand
Imperialists, together with their colonel;
