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

By traces which tomorrow will unravel,

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!
