He is a villain—and an enemy
To all men—most to me! If earth contain him,
He shall be found and fettered: I have hopes,190

A fresh clue to his lurking spot is nigh.
Carl. And, if I find it, I will break the thread.
What, all the world against one luckless wight!
And he a fugitive—I would I knew him!
Ulric. You'd help him to escape—is it not so?
Carl. I would, indeed!
