A human creature could not so at once
Have vanished.

ILLO (enters).
Is it true that thou wilt send
Octavio?

TERZKY.
How, Octavio! Whither send him?

WALLENSTEIN.
He goes to Frauenberg, and will lead hither
The Spanish and Italian regiments.

ILLO.
No!
Nay, heaven forbid!

WALLENSTEIN.
And why should heaven forbid?

ILLO.
Him!--that deceiver! Wouldst thou trust to him
The soldiery? Him wilt thou let slip from thee,
Now in the very instant that decides us----

TERZKY.
Thou wilt not do this! No! I pray thee, no!

WALLENSTEIN.
