WALLENSTEIN.
'Tis a cursed accident! Oh! I will call it a most blessed one, If it work on thee as it ought to do, Hurry thee on to action--to decision. The Swedish general? WALLENSTEIN. He's arrived! Know'st What his commission is---- ILLO. To thee alone Will he intrust the purpose of his coming. WALLENSTEIN. A cursed, cursed accident! Yes, yes, Sesina knows too much, and won't be silent. TERZKY. He's a Bohemian fugitive and rebel, His neck is forfeit. Can he save himself At thy cost, think you he will scruple it? And if they put him to the torture, will he, Will he, that dastardling, have strength enough---- WALLENSTEIN (lost in thought). Their confidence is lost, irreparably! And I may act which way I will, I shall Be and remain forever in their thought |
