Scene II

Enter Octavio Piccolomini and Questenberg.

Octavio. Ay, ay! more still! Still more new visitors!
Acknowledge, friend! that never was a camp,
Which held at once so many heads of heroes.
Welcome, Count Isolani!

Isolani. My noble brother,

Thus to renew acquaintance with a man
Whose worth and services I know and honour.
See, see, my friend!

These two the total sum—Strength and Dispatch.

Questenberg (to Octavio). And lo! betwixt them both experienced Prudence!
